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?

Of David - Yahweh - [is] light my and salvation my from whom? will I be afraid Yahweh [is] [the] refuge of life my from whom? will I be in dread.

2 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.

When drew near on me - evil-doers to devour flesh my opponents my and enemies my to me they they stumbled and they fell.

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.

Though it will encamp on me - a camp not it will fear heart my though it will arise on me warfare in this I [will be] trusting.

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.

One [thing] - I have asked from with Yahweh it I will seek to dwell I in [the] house of Yahweh all [the] days of life my to look on [the] kindness of Yahweh and to inquire in temple his.

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.

For he will conceal me - in refuge his in a day of trouble he will hide me in [the] hiding place of tent his on a rock he will raise up me.

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.

And now it will rise head my above enemies my around me and I will sacrifice in tent his sacrifices of a shout of joy I will sing and I will sing praises to Yahweh.

7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.

Hear O Yahweh voice my I call out and show favor to me and answer me.

8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.

Of you - it has said heart my seek face my face your O Yahweh I will seek.

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.

May not you hide face your - from me may not you turn aside in anger servant your help my you have been may not you abandon me and may not you forsake me O God of salvation my.

10 For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.

For father my and mother my they have forsaken me and Yahweh he will receive me.

11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.

Teach me O Yahweh way your and lead me in a path of level ground on account of enemies my.

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.

May not you give me in [the] desire of opponents my for they have arisen on me witnesses of falsehood and a witness of violence.

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

If not I had believed to look on [the] goodness of Yahweh in [the] land of living [people].

14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.

Wait to Yahweh be strong so may it show strength heart your and wait to Yahweh.
