< 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﹖
A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my saviour; whom then should I fear? The Lord protects my life; whom then should I 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 the wicked drew near to assail me and eat up my flesh, it was those who distressed and opposed me who stumbled and fell.
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。
Though against me a host should encamp, yet my heart would be fearless: though battle should rise up against me, still would I be trustful.
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, and that do I long for – To live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the grace of the Lord and inquire 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 shelter in the day of misfortune. In his sheltering tent he hides me: he lifts me up on a rock.
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 that my head he has lifted above my encircling foes, I will march round the altar and sacrifice, shouting with joy, in his tent, making music and song to 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 loud cry, and graciously answer me.
8 論及你,我心中時常在想:你應該尋求祂的儀容。
My heart has said to you, ‘Your face, O Lord, 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 not your face from me, reject not your servant in anger: for you have been my help. Abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my help:
10 我的父母雖捨棄了我,然而上主卻收留了我。
for father and mother have left 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。
Teach me your way, O Lord: lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.
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, O Lord, unto the rage of my foes; for against me have risen false witnesses, breathing out cruelty.
13 我深信在此活人的地區,必定會享見上主的幸福。
Firm is the faith I cherish, that I, in the land of the living, will yet see the goodness of God.
14 你要鼓起勇氣,期望上主!你要振作精神,期望上主!
Let your heart be courageous and strong, and wait on the Lord.
