Psalms 28
1 A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, se ou menm ki twou wòch kote m' kache a, se nan pye ou m'ap rele. Pa fè tankou ou pa tande m'. Si ou pa reponn mwen, m'ap tankou yon kadav y'ap antere.
2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.
Tande m' non, lè m'ap rele ou, lè m'ap mande ou sekou. Koute m' non, lè mwen leve de bra m' nan direksyon kay ki apa pou ou a.
3 Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.
Pa mete m' nan menm sak ak mechan yo, ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ak moun ki gen bèl pawòl nan bouch yo men ki gen mechanste plen kè yo.
4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.
Pini yo pou sa yo fè, pou tou sa yo fè ki mal. Pini yo pou tou sa yo fè, ba yo sa yo merite.
5 Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.
Yo pa pran ka sa Seyè a te fè, sa l' te fè ak men l'. Se pou Seyè a detwi yo, se pou l' disparèt yo nèt alè.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a. Li tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
7 The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
Seyè a ap pwoteje m', l'ap pran defans mwen. Mwen mete tout konfyans mwen nan li. Li ede m', kè m' kontan. M'ap chante pou m' fè lwanj li.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
Se Seyè a ki tout fòs pèp li a. L'ap defann wa li chwazi a, l'ap delivre l'.
9 Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
Seyè, sove pèp ou a non! Beni tout moun pa ou yo! Aji ak yo tankou yon bon gadò. Pran swen yo tout tan tout tan.
