Salmos 28

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

Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.

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

Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.

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 drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.

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.

Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].

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

Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!

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

Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!

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.

Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.

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

Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.

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

Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.
