Salmos 28

1 A ti clamo, oh Señor, mi Roca; no me niegues tu respuesta, para que no llegue a ser como aquellos que descienden al inframundo.

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 Escucha la voz de mi oración, cuando te clamo, cuando mis manos se eleven a tu lugar santo.

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 lleven lejos con los pecadores y los trabajadores del mal, que dicen palabras de paz a sus vecinos, pero el mal está en sus corazones.

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 Dales la recompensa conforme a la perversidad de los sus actos y de sus maldades: dales castigo conforme a las obras de sus manos.

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

5 Porque no tienen respeto por las obras del Señor, ni por las cosas que sus manos han hecho, serán destruidos y no los vuelva a levantar.

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 Que el Señor sea alabado, porque ha escuchado la voz de mi oración.

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

7 El Señor es mi fortaleza y mi coraza, mi corazón tenía fe en él y él me ayudó; por esta causa, mi corazón está lleno de gozo, y lo alabaré en mi canción.

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 El Señor es la fortaleza de su pueblo, y un fuerte lugar de salvación para su ungido.

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

9 Sé un salvador para tu pueblo, y envía una bendición sobre tu herencia: sé su guía, y sustentalos 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.
