Salmos 28

1 Salmo de Davi. Tributai ao Senhor, ó filhos de Deus, tributai ao Senhor glória e poder!

2 Rendei-lhe a glória devida ao seu nome; adorai o Senhor com ornamentos sagrados.

3 Ouve-se a voz do Senhor sobre as águas! O Deus de grandeza retumbou: o Senhor trovejou sobre as águas imensas!

4 A voz do Senhor faz-se ouvir com poder! A voz do Senhor faz-se ouvir com majestade!

5 Fendem-se os cedros à voz do Senhor, quebra o Senhor os cedros do Líbano.

6 Faz saltar o Líbano como um novilho, e o Sarion como um búfalo novo.

7 A voz do Senhor despede relâmpagos,

8 a voz do Senhor abala o deserto. O Senhor faz tremer o deserto de Cades.

9 A voz do Senhor retorce os carvalhos, desnuda as florestas. E em seu templo todos bradam: "glória"!.

10 O Senhor preside ao dilúvio, o Senhor domina como rei para sempre.

11 O Senhor há de dar fortaleza ao seu povo! O Senhor abençoará o seu povo, dando-lhe a paz!

By David.

1 To you, Yahweh, I call.

My rock, don’t be deaf to me,

lest, if you are silent to me,

I would become like those who go down into the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,

when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked,

with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,

but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.

Give them according to the operation of their hands.

Bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,

nor the operation of his hands,

he will break them down and not build them up.

6 Blessed be Yahweh,

because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield.

My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.

Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.

With my song I will thank him.

8 Yahweh is their strength.

He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 Save your people,

and bless your inheritance.

Be their shepherd also,

and bear them up forever.
