Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, [if] thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

上主，我在向你呼號；我的磐石，不要置若罔聞；你若對我沉默不語，我便無異向陰府裏沉淪。

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.

當我朝著你的聖所向你呼號，高舉我手時，請俯聽我的哀禱！

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.

求你不要把我同敗類一起剿絕，不要把我同作惡的人一同消滅：他們與人談平安，但心中卻十分陰險。

4 Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.

願你按他們的作為，照他們行為的邪惡，報復他們；按他們手中的事業，給他們應得的報應，處罰他們！

5 For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

他們不關心上主的工程和祂手中所行，但願上主粉碎他們，不要再使他們復興！

6 Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.

上主是我的力量，我的護佑，我對祂全心依賴，必獲扶助；為此我滿心歡喜，讚頌歌舞。

8 Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.

上主是自己人民的力量，祂是受傅者得救的保障；

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.

求你拯救你的人民，祝福你的百姓，求你牧養他們，提攜他們直至永恒。
