Psalms 27
1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. 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?
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﹖
2 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
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。
3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
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。
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
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。
5 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
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。
6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
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。
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
上主，求你俯聽我的呼號，上主，求你憐憫我，垂允我。
8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
論及你，我心中時常在想：你應該尋求祂的儀容。
9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
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。
10 For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
我的父母雖捨棄了我，然而上主卻收留了我。
11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
上主，求你給我指示你的正路，為了我的仇敵，我踏上了坦途。
12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
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。
13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
我深信在此活人的地區，必定會享見上主的幸福。
14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
你要鼓起勇氣，期望上主！你要振作精神，期望上主！
