Psalms 27
1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
Psalmus David priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea, et salus mea, quem timebo? Dominus protector vitæ meæ, a quo trepidabo?
2 When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
Dum appropiant super me nocentes, ut edant carnes meas: Qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
3 Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum. Si exurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
4 One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitæ meæ: Ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum eius.
5 For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo: in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
6 And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
In petra exaltavit me: et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo eius hostiam vociferationis: cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
7 Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
Exaudi Domine vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te: miserere mei, et exaudi me.
8 When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisivit te facies mea: faciem tuam Domine requiram.
9 Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
Ne avertas faciem tuam a me: ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adiutor meus esto: ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me Deus salutaris meus.
10 Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
Quoniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquerunt me: Dominus autem assumpsit me.
11 Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
Legem pone mihi Domine in via tua: et dirige me in semitam rectam propter inimicos meos.
12 Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me: quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
13 I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
14 Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
