The Bible Psalms Psalm 28

Psalm 28

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 29 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ· ἐξοδίου σκηνῆς. ΕΝΕΓΚΑΤΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ, υἱοὶ Θεοῦ, ἐνέγκατε τῷ Κυρίῳ υἱοὺς κριῶν, ἐνέγκατε τῷ Κυρίῳ δόξαν καὶ τιμήν,

(29) A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you⌃ sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honour.

2 ἐνέγκατε τῷ Κυρίῳ δόξαν ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, προσκυνήσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν αὐλῇ ἁγίᾳ αὐτοῦ.

Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.

3 φωνὴ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τῶν ὑδάτων, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς δόξης ἐβρόντησε, Κύριος ἐπὶ ὑδάτων πολλῶν.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters.

4 φωνὴ Κυρίου ἐν ἰσχύϊ, φωνὴ Κυρίου ἐν μεγαλοπρεπείᾳ.

The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

5 φωνὴ Κυρίου συντρίβοντος κέδρους, καὶ συντρίψει Κύριος τὰς κέδρους τοῦ Λιβάνου

[There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

6 καὶ λεπτυνεῖ αὐτὰς ὡς τὸν μόσχον τὸν Λίβανον, καὶ ὁ ἠγαπημένος ὡς υἱὸς μονοκερώτων.

And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.

7 φωνὴ Κυρίου διακόπτοντος φλόγα πυρός,

[There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.

8 φωνὴ Κυρίου συσσείοντος ἔρημον καὶ συσσείσει Κύριος τὴν ἔρημον Κάδης.

A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

9 φωνὴ Κυρίου καταρτιζομένη ἐλάφους, καὶ ἀποκαλύψει δρυμούς· καὶ ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ πᾶς τις λέγει δόξαν.

The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.

10 Κύριος τὸν κατακλυσμὸν κατοικιεῖ, καὶ καθιεῖται Κύριος βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

11 Κύριος ἰσχὺν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ δώσει, Κύριος εὐλογήσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
