Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength 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 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came on me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
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 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise 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 have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in 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 in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up on a rock.
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 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises 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, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also on me, and answer me.
上主，求你俯聽我的呼號，上主，求你憐憫我，垂允我。
8 When you said, Seek you my face; my heart said to you, Your face, LORD, will I seek.
論及你，我心中時常在想：你應該尋求祂的儀容。
9 Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
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 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
我的父母雖捨棄了我，然而上主卻收留了我。
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain 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 my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
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 had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness 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 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
你要鼓起勇氣，期望上主！你要振作精神，期望上主！
