詩篇 27
1 大衛的詩。 耶和華是我的亮光，是我的拯救， 我還怕誰呢？ 耶和華是我性命的保障， 我還懼誰呢？
A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
2 那作惡的就是我的仇敵， 前來吃我肉的時候就絆跌仆倒。
Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
3 雖有軍兵安營攻擊我，我的心也不害怕； 雖然興起刀兵攻擊我，我必仍舊安穩。
If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.
4 有一件事，我曾求耶和華，我仍要尋求： 就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中， 瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿裏求問。
One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5 因為我遭遇患難，他必暗暗地保守我； 在他亭子裏，把我藏在他帳幕的隱密處， 將我高舉在磐石上。
For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
6 現在我得以昂首，高過四面的仇敵。 我要在他的帳幕裏歡然獻祭； 我要唱詩歌頌耶和華。
He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
7 耶和華啊，我用聲音呼籲的時候，求你垂聽； 並求你憐恤我，應允我。
Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.
8 你說：你們當尋求我的面。 那時我心向你說：耶和華啊， 你的面我正要尋求。
My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.
9 不要向我掩面。 不要發怒趕逐僕人， 你向來是幫助我的。 救我的上帝啊，不要丟掉我， 也不要離棄我。
Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Savior.
10 我父母離棄我， 耶和華必收留我。
For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.
11 耶和華啊，求你將你的道指教我， 因我仇敵的緣故引導我走平坦的路。
O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
12 求你不要把我交給敵人，遂其所願； 因為妄作見證的和口吐凶言的，起來攻擊我。
Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
13 我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠， 就早已喪膽了。
I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 要等候耶和華！ 當壯膽，堅固你的心！ 我再說，要等候耶和華！
Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
