Mazmur 28
1 Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, kepada-Mu aku berseru, Engkau pembelaku, dengarlah seruanku. Bila Engkau membisu terhadapku, aku seperti orang yang turun ke liang kubur.
Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Dengarlah permohonanku bila aku berteriak minta tolong, dan mengangkat tanganku ke arah Rumah-Mu yang suci.
Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.
3 Jangan menumpas aku bersama orang durhaka, bersama orang yang melakukan kejahatan. Mereka berbicara dengan ramah, tetapi hati mereka penuh kebusukan.
Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbours is friendly, while evil is in their heart.
4 Hukumlah mereka karena perbuatan mereka, karena kejahatan yang mereka lakukan. Hukumlah mereka sesuai dengan perbuatan mereka; berilah mereka hukuman yang setimpal.
Give them as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.
5 Mereka tidak mengindahkan perbuatan TUHAN, atau apa yang dikerjakan-Nya. Maka Ia akan menghukum mereka, dan membinasakan mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.
6 Terpujilah TUHAN, sebab Ia telah mendengar permohonanku.
Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.
7 TUHAN pelindung dan pembelaku, aku percaya kepada-Nya. Ia menolong dan menggirangkan hatiku, aku memuji Dia dengan lagu syukur.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.
8 TUHAN memberi kekuatan kepada umat-Nya, Ia membela dan menyelamatkan raja pilihan-Nya.
The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.
9 Selamatkanlah umat-Mu, ya TUHAN, berkatilah orang-orang milik-Mu. Jadilah seperti seorang gembala bagi mereka, dan jagalah mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
