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?

Yavé es mi Luz y mi Salvación, ¿De quién temeré? Yavé es la Fortaleza de mi vida, ¿De quién me aterrorizaré?

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.

Cuando se juntaron contra mí los perversos para devorar mi carne, Mis adversarios y mis enemigos tropezaron y cayeron.

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

Aunque un ejército acampe contra mí, No temerá mi corazón. Aunque contra mí se levante guerra, Yo estaré confiado.

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.

Una cosa le pedí a Yavé. Ésta buscaré: Que esté yo en la Casa de Yavé todos los días de mi vida, Para contemplar la hermosura de Yavé Y para meditar en su Templo.

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.

Porque Él me esconderá en su Tabernáculo en el día del mal. Me ocultará en lo reservado de su Tabernáculo. Me pondrá en alto sobre una roca.

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.

Mi cabeza será levantada sobre mis enemigos que estén alrededor, Y en su Tabernáculo ofreceré sacrificios con clamor de júbilo. Cantaré, sí, entonaré salmos a Yavé.

7 Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.

¡Escucha, oh Yavé, cuando clamo con mi voz! ¡Ten compasión de mí y respóndeme!

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

Mi corazón me dice de Ti: ¡Busca su rostro! Tu rostro buscaré, oh Yavé.

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.

No escondas tu rostro de mí, Ni rechaces con ira a tu esclavo. Has sido mi Ayuda. No me abandones Ni me desampares, Oh ʼElohim de mi salvación.

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

Aunque mi padre y mi madre me abandonen, Yavé me recogerá.

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

Enséñame, oh Yavé, tu camino, Y guíame por senda llana, a causa de mis enemigos.

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.

No me entregues a la voluntad de mis adversarios, Porque se levantaron contra mí testigos falsos que respiran violencia.

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

Hubiera yo desmayado Si no creyera que veré la bondad de Yavé en la tierra de los vivientes.

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

Espera a Yavé. ¡Sé fortalecido y aliéntese tu corazón! ¡Sí, espera a Yavé!
