Psalmi 28

1 Davidov. K tebi, o Jahve, vapijem, hridino moja, ne ogluši se na me: da neuslišan ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze.

[By David.] To you, YHWH, I call. My rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

2 Čuj moje zazivanje dok tebi vapijem, dok ruke uzdižem svetomu Hramu tvojem.

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

3 Ne uzmi me s bezbožnicima i s onima koji čine bezakonje, koji govore slatko s bližnjima a u srcu im je pakost.

Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Daj im po djelima njihovim i po zloći njihovih nedjela! Po djelu ruku njihovih plati im, uzvrati im po njihovoj zasluzi!

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Jer ne mare za čine Jahvine ni za djelo ruku njegovih: nek' ih obori i više ne podigne!

Because they do not regard the works of YHWH, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

6 Blagoslovljen Jahve što usliša zazivanje moje! Jahve mi je zaklon, on štit je moj.

Blessed be YHWH, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

7 U njega se srce moje pouzdalo i pomoć mi dođe; zato mi kliče srce i pjesmom njega slavim.

YHWH is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

8 Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.

YHWH is the strength of his people. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 Spasi narod svoj i blagoslovi svoju baštinu, pasi ih i nosi ih dovijeka!

Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
