Salmos 28

1 A ti, o! Jehová, llamaré: fuerza mía, no me dejes: porque dejándome no sea semejante a los que descienden al sepulcro.

Of David. My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.

2 Oye la voz de mis ruegos, cuando clamo a ti: cuando alzo mis manos al templo de tu santidad.

Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.

3 No me tires con los malos, y con los que hacen iniquidad: que hablan paz con sus prójimos, y la maldad está en su corazón.

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

4 Dáles conforme a su obra, y conforme a la malicia de sus hechos: conforme a la obra de sus manos, dáles: págales su paga.

Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.

5 Porque no entendieron las obras de Jehová, y el hecho de sus manos, derribarlos ha, y no los edificará.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

6 Bendito Jehová, que oyó la voz de mis ruegos.

May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

7 Jehová es mi fortaleza, y mi escudo: en él esperó mi corazón, y yo fui ayudado: y gozóse mi corazón, y con mi canción le alabaré.

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

8 Jehová es la fortaleza de ellos: y el esfuerzo de las saludes de su ungido es él.

The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.

9 Salva a tu pueblo, y bendice a tu heredad: y pastoréalos, y ensálzalos para siempre.

Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
