Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

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

2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.

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

3 Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.

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

4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.

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

5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.

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

6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.

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

7 The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

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

8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.

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