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.
K tebi hočem klicati, oh Gospod, moja skala, ne bodi molčeč do mene, da ne bi, če boš do mene molčeč, postal podoben tem, ki gredo dol v jamo.
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.
Prisluhni glasu mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko kličem k tebi, ko svoje roke dvigujem k tvojemu svetemu oraklju.
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.
Ne odtegni me proč z zlobnimi in z delavci krivičnosti, ki svojim bližnjim govorijo mir, toda v njihovih srcih je vragolija.
4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
Daj jim glede na njihova dejanja in glede na zlobnost njihovih prizadevanj. Daj jim po delu njihovih rok, povrni jim njihovo plačilo.
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!
Ker ne upoštevajo Gospodovih del niti delovanja njegovih rok, jih bo uničil in jih ne bo zgradil.
6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ker je uslišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj.
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.
Gospod je moja moč in moj ščit, moje srce je zaupalo vanj in pomagano mi je. Zato se moje srce silno razveseljuje in s svojo pesmijo ga bom hvalil.
8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
Gospod je njihova moč in on je rešilna moč svojemu maziljencu.
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.
Reši svoje ljudstvo in blagoslavljaj svojo dediščino, tudi pasi jih in dvigni jih na veke.
