Psalms 28 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 To you, Yahawah (), I qaraa (called). My tzawar (rock), don't be deaf to me; lest, if you are charash (silent) to me, I would mashal (speak in proverb/parable) like those who yarad (go) down into the bawar (pit).

2 Shamai (hearken / hear) the qawal (sound / voice) of my petitions, when I shawai (cry) to you, when I nashaa (lift) up my yad (hand) toward your Most qadash (set apart / make holy) Place.

3 Don't mashak (draw) me away with the rashai (wicked), with the pailay (workers) of awan (iniquity) who dabar (word / matter) shalawam (peace / safety) with their neighbors, but rai (mischief) is in their labab (hearts).

4 Nathan (give) them according to their pail (work), and according to the rai (wickedness) of their mailal (doings). Nathan (give) them according to the maishah (operation) of their yad (hand). Shawab (turn) back on them what they deserve.

5 Because they don't respect the pailath (works) of Yahawah (), nor the maishah (operation) of his yad (hand), he will haras (break) them down and not banah (build) them up.

6 Barak (blessed) be Yahawah (), because he has shamai (hearken / hear) the qawal (sound / voice) of my petitions.

7 Yahawah () is my iz (strength / might / refuge) and my magan (shield). My lab (heart) has batach (trusted) in him, and I am izar (helped). Therefore my lab (heart) greatly ilaz (rejoices). With my shayar (song) I will yadah (thank) him.

8 Yahawah () is their iz (strength / might / refuge). He is a stronghold of yashawaih (salvation) to his mashayach (anointed one).

9 Yashai (salvation) your im (nation / people), and barak (blessed) your nachalah (inheritance). Be their raih (shepherd) also, and nashaa (lift) them up iwalam (eternity).
