Chapter 28

1. Of David. To You, O Lord, I call. My Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest You be silent to me, and I will be likened to those who descend into the Pit.		א. לְדָוִד אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה \| אֶקְרָא צוּרִי אַל תֶּחֱרַשׁ מִמֶּנִּי פֶּן תֶּחֱשֶׁה מִמֶּנִּי וְנִמְשַׁלְתִּי עִם יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר:
2. Hearken to the voice of my supplications when I cry out to You, when I lift my hands towards Your Holy Sanctuary.		ב. שְׁמַע קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶיךָ בְּנָשְׂאִי יָדַי אֶל דְּבִיר קָדְשֶׁךָ:
3. Do not cause me to be drawn with the wicked or with those who work iniquity, who speak peace with their friends but evil is in their heart.		ג. אַל תִּמְשְׁכֵנִי עִם רְשָׁעִים וְעִם פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּבְרֵי שָׁלוֹם עִם רֵעֵיהֶם וְרָעָה בִּלְבָבָם:
Do not cause me to be drawn: Heb. תמשכני, do not draw me with the wicked; treras moy in Old French.
4. Give them according to their deeds and according to the evil of their endeavors; according to the work of their hands give to them; return their recompense to them.		ד. תֶּן לָהֶם כְּפָעֳלָם וּכְרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם כְּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם תֵּן לָהֶם הָשֵׁב גְּמוּלָם לָהֶם:
5. For they do not understand the works of the Lord or the deeds of His hands. He shall break them down and not build them up.		ה. כִּי לֹא יָבִינוּ אֶל פְּעֻלֹּת יְהֹוָה וְאֶל מַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו יֶהֶרְסֵם וְלֹא יִבְנֵם:
6. Blessed is the Lord, for He has heard the voice of my supplication.		ו. בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה כִּי שָׁמַע קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי:
7. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him and I was helped; my heart rejoiced and I will thank Him with my song.		ז. יְהֹוָה \| עֻזִּי וּמָגִנִּי בּוֹ בָטַח לִבִּי וְנֶעֱזָרְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹז לִבִּי וּמִשִּׁירִי אֲהוֹדֶנּוּ:
and I will thank Him with my song: Now what is the thanks?…
8. The Lord is strength to them and He is the stronghold of the salvations of His anointed.		ח. יְהֹוָה עֹז לָמוֹ וּמָעוֹז יְשׁוּעוֹת מְשִׁיחוֹ הוּא:
The Lord is strength to them: to those who rely on Him, viz. the entire house of Israel, at the time that He is the stronghold of the salvations of His anointed.
9. Save Your people and bless Your inheritance, and tend them and elevate them forever.		ט. הוֹשִׁיעָה אֶת עַמֶּךָ וּבָרֵךְ אֶת נַחֲלָתֶךָ וּרְעֵם וְנַשְּׂאֵם עַד הָעוֹלָם:
and tend them: Heb. ורעם, an expression of pasture (מרעה).
