Psalms 27

1 A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?

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 When evil people come at me to tear me apart, it's my enemies, those who are against me, they're the ones who trip and fall.

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 Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.

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 I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about 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 When troubles come he will protect me and keep me safe, hiding me in his house, as secure as if he'd placed me on a high rock.

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 will hold my head high over my enemies who are all around me. I shall offer sacrifices in his house with shouts of joy, and I will sing praises 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 Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.

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

8 You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.

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

9 Don't refuse to talk to me. Don't be angry with your servant and turn away. You are the one who helps me, so please don't reject me and abandon me, God of my salvation.

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 Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.

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

11 Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—

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

12 don't hand me over to them and their evil intentions, for they are making false accusations against me and threatening me with violence.

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 However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.

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

14 Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!

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