Psalms 27

1 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?

De David. Yahvé es mi luz y mi socorro; ¿a quién temeré? La defensa de mi vida es Yahvé; ¿ante quién podré temblar?

2 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.

Cada vez que me asaltan los malignos para devorar mi carne, son ellos, mis adversarios y enemigos, quienes vacilan y caen.

3 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.

Si un ejército acampase contra mí, mi corazón no temería; y aunque estalle contra mí la guerra, tendré confianza.

4 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.

Una sola cosa he pedido a Yahvé, y esto sí lo reclamo: [habitar en la casa de Yahvé todos los días de mi vida]; contemplar la suavidad de Yahvé y meditar en su santuario.

5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.

Porque en el día malo Él me esconderá en su tienda; me tendrá seguro en el secreto de su tabernáculo, y me pondrá sobre una alta roca.

6 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.

Entonces mi cabeza se alzará por encima de mis enemigos en torno mío, e inmolaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo; cantaré y entonaré salmos a Yahvé.

7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.

Escucha, oh Yahvé, mi voz que te llama; ten misericordia de mí y atiéndeme.

8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.

Mi corazón sabe que Tú has dicho: “Buscadme.” Y yo busco tu rostro, oh Yahvé.

9 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.

No quieras esconderme tu faz, no rechaces con desdén a tu siervo. Mi socorro eres Tú; no me eches fuera, ni me desampares, oh Dios, Salvador mío.

10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.

Si mi padre y mi madre me abandonan, Yahvé me recogerá.

11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.

Muéstrame, oh Yahvé, tu camino, y condúceme por la senda llana a causa de los que me están asechando.

12 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.

No me dejes entregado a la voluntad de mis enemigos, porque se han levantado contra mí falsos testigos que respiran crueldad.

13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

¡Ah, si no creyera yo que veré los bienes de Yahvé en la tierra de los vivientes!

14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.

¡Aguarda a Yahvé y ten ánimo; aliéntese tu corazón y aguarde a Yahvé!
