< Psalms 28 >

1 [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent towards me: lest you be silent towards me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
K tebi hočem klicati, oh Gospod, moja skala, ne bodi molčeč do mene, da ne bi, če boš do mene molčeč, postal podoben tem, ki gredo dol v jamo.
2 Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands towards your holy temple.
Prisluhni glasu mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko kličem k tebi, ko svoje roke dvigujem k tvojemu svetemu oraklju.
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 odtegni me proč z zlobnimi in z delavci krivičnosti, ki svojim bližnjim govorijo mir, toda v njihovih srcih je vragolija.
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 to them.
Daj jim glede na njihova dejanja in glede na zlobnost njihovih prizadevanj. Daj jim po delu njihovih rok, povrni jim njihovo plačilo.
5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.
Ker ne upoštevajo Gospodovih del niti delovanja njegovih rok, jih bo uničil in jih ne bo zgradil.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ker je uslišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj.
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.
Gospod je moja moč in moj ščit, moje srce je zaupalo vanj in pomagano mi je. Zato se moje srce silno razveseljuje in s svojo pesmijo ga bom hvalil.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
Gospod je njihova moč in on je rešilna moč svojemu maziljencu.
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
Reši svoje ljudstvo in blagoslavljaj svojo dediščino, tudi pasi jih in dvigni jih na veke.
