< Psalms 27 >
1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
ヱホバはわが光わが救なり われ誰をかおそれん ヱホバはわが生命のちからなり わが懼るべきものはたれぞや
2 When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
われの敵われの仇なるあしきもの襲ひきたりてわが肉をくらはんとせしが蹶きかつ仆れたり
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
縦ひいくさびと營をつらねて我をせむるともわが心おそれじ たとひ戰ひおこりて我をせむるとも我になほ恃あり
4 One thing I have asked of Jehovah, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple.
われ一事をヱホバにこへり我これをもとむ われヱホバの美しきを仰ぎその宮をみんがためにわが世にあらん限りはヱホバの家にすまんとこそ願ふなれ
5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up upon a rock.
ヱホバはなやみの日にその行宮のうちに我をひそませその幕屋のおくにわれをかくし巌のうへに我をたかく置たまふべければなり
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah.
今わが首はわれをめぐれる仇のうへに高くあげらるべし この故にわれヱホバのまくやにて歓喜のそなへものを献ん われうたひてヱホバをほめたたへん
7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
わが聲をあげてさけぶときヱホバよきき給へ また憐みてわれに應へたまへ
8 My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O Jehovah, I will seek thy face.
なんぢらわが面をたづねもとめよと(斯る聖言のありしとき)わが心なんぢにむかひてヱホバよ我なんぢの聖顔をたづねんといへり
9 Hide not thy face from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
ねがはくは聖顔をかくしたまふなかれ 怒りてなんぢの僕をとほざけたまふなかれ汝はわれの助なり 噫わがすくひの神よ われをおひいだし我をすてたまふなかれ
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.
わが父母われをすつるともヱホバわれを迎へたまはん
11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
ヱホバよなんぢの途をわれにをしへ わが仇のゆゑに我をたひらかなる途にみちびきたまへ
12 Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
いつはりの證をなすもの暴厲を吐もの我にさからひて起りたてり 願くはわれを仇にわたしてその心のままに爲しめたまふなかれ
13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.
われもしヱホバの恩寵をいけるものの地にて見るの侍なからましかば奈何ぞや
14 Wait for Jehovah. Be strong, and let thy heart take courage. Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.
ヱホバを俟望ぞめ雄々しかれ汝のこころを堅うせよ 必ずやヱホバをまちのぞめ
