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.

De David. A Ti, Yahvé, clamo, roca mía, no te muestres sordo conmigo; no sea que si Tú me desoyes me asemeje yo a los que bajan al sepulcro.

2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.

Escucha la voz de mi súplica cuando clamo a Ti, mientras levanto mis manos hacia el interior de tu Santuario.

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.

No me quites de en medio con los impíos y los obradores de iniquidad, que hablan paz a su prójimo y maquinan el mal en su corazón.

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.

Retribúyeles conforme a sus obras y a la malicia de sus maquinaciones; págales según su conducta, dales su merecido.

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.

Porque no paran mientes en los hechos de Yahvé, ni en las obras de sus manos. ¡Destrúyalos Él y no los restablezca!

6 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

Bendito sea Yahvé, porque oyó la voz de mi súplica.

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.

Yahvé es mi fortaleza y mi escudo; en Él confió mi corazón y fui socorrido. Por eso mi corazón salta de gozo y lo alabo con mi cántico.

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

Yahvé es la fuerza de su pueblo, y el alcázar de salvación para su ungido.

9 Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.

Salva a tu pueblo y bendice a tu heredad; apaciéntalos y condúcelos para siempre.
