Psalm 28 | 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.

1 Davidův. K toběť, Hospodine, volám, skálo má, neodmlčujž mi se, abych, neozval-li bys mi se, nebyl podobný učiněn těm, kteříž sstupují do hrobu.

2 Vyslýchej hlas pokorných modliteb mých, kdyžkoli k tobě volám, když pozdvihuji rukou svých k svatyni svatosti tvé.

3 Nezahrnuj mne s bezbožníky, a s těmi, kteříž páší nepravost, kteříž mluvívají pokoj s bližními svými, ale převrácenost jest v srdcích jejich.

4 Dejž jim podlé skutků jejich, a podlé zlosti nešlechetností jejich; podlé práce rukou jejich dej jim, zaplať jim zaslouženou mzdu jejich.

5 Nebo nechtí mysli přiložiti k skutkům Hospodinovým, a k dílu rukou jeho; protož podvrátí je, a nebude jich vzdělávati.

6 Požehnaný Hospodin, nebo vyslyšel hlas pokorných modliteb mých.

7 Hospodin jest síla má a štít můj, v němť jest složilo naději srdce mé, a dána mi pomoc; protož se veselí srdce mé, a písničkou svou oslavovati jej budu.

8 Hospodin jest síla svých, a síla hojného spasení pomazaného svého on jest.

9 Spas lid svůj, Hospodine, a požehnej dědictví svému, a pas je, i vyvyš je až na věky.
