Psalms 28

1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.

Of David to you O Yahweh - I call out O rock my may not you be deaf from me lest you should be silent from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down [the] pit.

2 Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.

Hear [the] sound of supplications my when cry for help I to you when lift up I hands my to [the] innermost room of holiness your.

3 Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.

May not you drag away me with wicked [people] and with [those who] do wickedness [who] speak peace with neighbors their and evil [is] in heart their.

4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].

Requite to them according to work their and according to [the] wickedness of deeds their according to [the] work of hands their requite to them repay recompense their to them.

5 Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!

For not they consider [the] deeds of Yahweh and to [the] work of hands his he will tear down them and not he will rebuild them.

6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!

[be] blessed Yahweh for he has heard [the] sound of supplications my.

7 Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.

Yahweh - [is] strength my and shield my in him it has trusted heart my and I was helped and it exulted heart my and from song my I will give thanks to him.

8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.

Yahweh [is] strength of them and [is] [the] refuge of [the] salvation of anointed his he.

9 Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.

Save! - people your and bless inheritance your and shepherd them and carry them until perpetuity.
