Psalms 27

1 Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ es mi luz y mi salvación: ¿de quién temeré? Jehová es la fortaleza de mi vida: ¿de quién he de atemorizarme?

2 When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.

Cuando se allegaron contra mí los malignos, mis angustiadores y mis enemigos, para comer mis carnes, ellos tropezaron y cayeron.

3 Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

Aunque se asiente campo contra mí, no temerá mi corazón: aunque contra mí se levante guerra, yo en esto confío.

4 One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

Una cosa he demandado á Jehová, ésta buscaré: que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida, para contemplar la hermosura de Jehová, y para inquirir en su templo.

5 For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

Porque él me esconderá en su tabernáculo en el día del mal; ocultaráme en lo reservado de su pabellón; pondráme en alto sobre una roca.

6 And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

Y luego ensalzará mi cabeza sobre mis enemigos en derredor de mí: y yo sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo: cantaré y salmearé á Jehová.

7 O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.

Oye, oh Jehová, mi voz [con que á ti] clamo; y ten misericordia de mí, respóndeme.

8 When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.

Mi corazón ha dicho de ti: Buscad mi rostro. Tu rostro buscaré, oh Jehová.

9 Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

No escondas tu rostro de mí, no apartes con ira á tu siervo: mi ayuda has sido; no me dejes y no me desampares, Dios de mi salud.

10 When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.

Aunque mi padre y mi madre me dejaran, Jehová con todo me recogerá.

11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.

Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino, y guíame por senda de rectitud, á causa de mis enemigos.

12 Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.

No me entregues á la voluntad de mis enemigos; porque se han levantado contra mí testigos falsos, y los que respiran crueldad.

13 I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.

[Hubiera yo desmayado], si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová en la tierra de los vivientes.

14 Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

Aguarda á Jehová; esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón: sí, espera á Jehová.
