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.

huic David ad te Domine clamabo Deus meus ne sileas a me nequando taceas a me et adsimilabor descendentibus in lacum

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

exaudi vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum

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.

ne simul tradas me cum peccatoribus et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdideris me qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo mala autem sunt in cordibus eorum

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.

da illis secundum opera ipsorum et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis redde retributionem eorum ipsis

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.

quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini et in opera manuum eius destrues illos et non aedificabis eos

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

benedictus Dominus quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae

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.

Dominus adiutor meus et protector meus in ipso speravit cor meum et adiutus sum et refloruit caro mea et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei

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

Dominus fortitudo plebis suae et protector salvationum christi sui est

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

salvam fac plebem tuam et benedic hereditati tuae et rege eos et extolle eos usque in aeternum
