Psalm 28 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Bøn om hjælp

1 En sang af David. Herre, jeg råber til dig om hjælp, for du er min eneste redning. Hvis du ikke griber ind, må jeg se døden i øjnene.

2 Herre, lyt til min bøn om nåde, jeg råber til dig om hjælp med løftede hænder mod din helligdom.

3 Lad mig ikke ende som de ondskabsfulde, der taler venligt til folk, mens de udtænker onde planer.

4 Giv dem den straf, de fortjener, lad dem lide for deres grusomme handlinger. Straf dem for al deres ondskab.

5 De ænser ikke Guds veje, de følger ikke hans bud. Derfor vil Gud rive dem ned som et hus, der aldrig skal genopbygges.

6 Lovet være Herren, for han har hørt min bøn.

7 Han er min styrke og mit skjold, jeg stoler på ham af hele mit hjerte. Når han hjælper, fyldes jeg med glæde, mit hjerte jubler af lovsang til ham.

8 Herren bevarer sit folk, han giver sejr til sin udvalgte konge.

9 Herre, befri dit folk, velsign dem, der hører dig til. Vær som en hyrde for dem, bær dem i dine arme for evigt!

English Standard Version

The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield

1 Of David. To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.*

3 Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.

4 Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more.

6 Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.

7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people;* he is the saving refuge of his anointed.

9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
