Psalms 28

1 A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.

ダビデの歌 主よ、わたしはあなたにむかって呼ばわります。わが岩よ、わたしにむかって耳しいとならないでください。もしあなたが黙っておられるならば、おそらく、わたしは墓に下る者と等しくなるでしょう。

2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.

わたしがあなたにむかって助けを求め、あなたの至聖所にむかって手をあげるとき、わたしの願いの声を聞いてください。

3 Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.

悪しき者および悪を行う者らと共にわたしを引き行かないでください。彼らはその隣り人とむつまじく語るけれども、その心には害悪をいだく者です。

4 Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.

どうぞ、そのわざにしたがい、その悪しき行いにしたがって彼らに報い、その手のわざにしたがって彼らに報い、その受くべき罰を彼らに与えてください。

5 Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.

彼らは主のもろもろのみわざと、み手のわざとを顧みないゆえに、主は彼らを倒して、再び建てられることはない。

6 Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.

主はほむべきかな。主はわたしの願いの声を聞かれた。

7 The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.

主はわが力、わが盾。わたしの心は主に寄り頼む。わたしは助けを得たので、わたしの心は大いに喜び、歌をもって主をほめたたえる。

8 The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.

主はその民の力、その油そそがれた者の救のとりでである。

9 O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.

どうぞ、あなたの民を救い、あなたの嗣業を恵み、彼らの牧者となって、とこしえに彼らをいだき導いてください。
