詩篇 27
1 上主是我的光明，我的救援，我還畏懼何人﹖ 上主是我生命穩固的保障，我還害怕何人﹖
“Of David.” The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread?
2 當惡人前來攻擊我，要吃我的肉時，我的對手，我的仇敵，反而跌倒斷氣。
When evil-doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.
3 雖有大軍向我進攻，我的心毫不戰慄；雖然戰爭向我迫近，我依然滿懷依恃。
If an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war should arise against me, even then will I have trust.
4 我有一事祈求上主，我要懇切請求此事：使我一生的歲月，常居住在上主的殿裏，欣賞上主的甘飴慈祥，瞻仰上主聖所的堂皇。
One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
5 因為在我困難的時他日，祂將我藏在祂的帳棚裏；將我藏在祂帳幕的深處，並將我高舉放在磐石。
For he will hide me in his pavilion on the day of evil; he will conceal me in the secret of his tabernacle; upon a rock will he place me high.
6 現在我可昂首抬頭，卑視我周圍的仇人；我要在上主的帳幕裏，奉獻歡樂之祭，要向上主歡唱讚美的詩詞。
And now will my head be lifted up above my enemies all round about me; and I will sacrifice in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing, and I will triumphantly play unto the Lord.
7 上主，求你俯聽我的呼號，上主，求你憐憫我，垂允我。
Hear, O Lord, my voice, [when] I call, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
8 論及你，我心中時常在想：你應該尋求祂的儀容。
Of thee, said my heart, “Seek ye my presence”: thy presence, Lord, will I seek.
9 求你不要向我掩住你的臉，你發怒時不要趕散你僕人。你向來就是我唯一的救援；救我的天主，不要棄我不管。
Hide [then] not thy face from me; reject not in anger thy servant, thou [who] hast been my help: cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 我的父母雖捨棄了我，然而上主卻收留了我。
For my father and my mother have forsaken me; but the Lord will take me up.
11 上主，求你給我指示你的正路，為了我的仇敵，我踏上了坦途。
Point me out thy way, O Lord! and guide me on a level path, because of those that regard me enviously.
12 求你不要將我交於仇人的私慾，因為殘暴的假見證來向我攻擊。
Give me not up to the [revengeful] desire of my assailants; for there are risen up against me false witnesses, and such as utter violence.
13 我深信在此活人的地區，必定會享見上主的幸福。
Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of life—
14 你要鼓起勇氣，期望上主！你要振作精神，期望上主！
Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let thy heart be of good courage; and only wait on the Lord.
