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.

Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.

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

Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.

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

Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbors is friendly, while evil is in their heart.

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

Give them as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.

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

They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.

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

Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.

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

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.

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

The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.

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

O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
