Psalms 28

A Psalm of David.

1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.*28.1 to me: Heb. from me

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.*28.2 thy…: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.*28.8 their: or, his*28.8 saving…: Heb. strength of salvations

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.*28.9 feed: or, rule

祈求 神施恩及感恩称颂

大卫的诗。 1 耶和华啊！我向你呼求；

我的盘石啊！不要不听我；

如果你缄默不理我，

我就跟那些下坑的人一样。*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 我向你呼求，

向你的至圣所举手祷告的时候，

求你垂听我恳求的声音。

3 求你不要把我和坏人，

跟作恶的人一同除掉；

他们与邻居说平安的话，

心里却存着奸恶。

4 愿你按着他们所作的，照着他们所行的恶报应他们；

愿你照着他们手所作的报应他们，

把他们应得的报应加给他们。

5 他们既然不关心耶和华的作为，和他手所作的，

耶和华就必拆毁他们，不建立他们。

6 耶和华是应当称颂的，

因为他听了我恳求的声音。

7 耶和华是我的力量，是我的盾牌；

我的心倚靠他，我就得到帮助；

所以我的心欢乐。

我要用诗歌颂赞他。

8 耶和华是他子民的力量，

又是他受膏者得救的保障。

9 求你拯救你的子民，

赐福给你的产业，

牧养他们，怀抱他们，直到永远。
