Psalm 28
New King James Version
Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
28 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
(A)Do not be silent to me,
(B)Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
(C)When I lift up my hands (D)toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not [a]take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
(E)Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
4 (F)Give them according to their deeds,
And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
Give them according to the work of their hands;
Render to them what they deserve.
5 Because (G)they do not regard 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 has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The Lord is (H)my strength and my shield;
My heart (I)trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
8 The Lord is [b]their strength,
And He is the (J)saving refuge of His [c]anointed.
9 Save Your people,
And bless (K)Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
(L)And bear them up forever.

Supplica e ringraziamento
28 Di Davide.
A te grido, Signore;
non restare in silenzio, mio Dio,
perché, se tu non mi parli,
io sono come chi scende nella fossa.
2 Ascolta la voce della mia supplica,
quando ti grido aiuto,
quando alzo le mie mani
verso il tuo santo tempio.
3 Non travolgermi con gli empi,
con quelli che operano il male.
Parlano di pace al loro prossimo,
ma hanno la malizia nel cuore.
4 Ripagali secondo la loro opera
e la malvagità delle loro azioni.
Secondo le opere delle loro mani,
rendi loro quanto meritano.
5 Poiché non hanno compreso l'agire del Signore
e le opere delle sue mani,
egli li abbatta e non li rialzi.
6 Sia benedetto il Signore,
che ha dato ascolto alla voce della mia preghiera;
7 il Signore è la mia forza e il mio scudo,
ho posto in lui la mia fiducia;
mi ha dato aiuto ed esulta il mio cuore,
con il mio canto gli rendo grazie.
8 Il Signore è la forza del suo popolo,
rifugio di salvezza del suo consacrato.
9 Salva il tuo popolo e la tua eredità benedici,
guidali e sostienili per sempre.

A Prayer in Troubled Times
Of David.
28 Lord, my Rock, I call out to you for help.
Do not be deaf to me.
If you are silent,
I will be like those in the grave.
2 Hear the sound of my prayer,
when I cry out to you for help.
I raise my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Don’t drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil.
They say, “Peace” to their neighbors.
But evil is in their hearts.
4 Pay them back for what they have done.
They have done evil.
Pay them back for what they have done.
Give them their reward.
5 They don’t understand what the Lord has done
or what he has made.
So he will knock them down
and not lift them up.
6 Praise the Lord.
He heard my prayer for help.
7 The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him, and he helps me.
I am very happy.
And I praise him with my song.
8 The Lord is powerful.
He gives power and victory to his chosen one.
9 Save your people.
Bless those who are your own.
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
