Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
| لِدَاوُدَ الرَّبُّ نُورِي وَخَلاصِي، مِمَّنْ أَخَافُ؟ الرَّبُّ حِصْنُ حَيَاتِي مِمَّنْ أَرْتَعِبُ؟ | ١ |
2 When evil-doers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
| عِنْدَمَا هَجَمَ فَاعِلُو الإِثْمِ، خُصُومِي وَأَعْدَائِي، لِيَلْتَهِمُوا لَحْمِي، تَعَثَّرُوا وَسَقَطُوا. | ٢ |
3 Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
| إِنِ اصْطَفَّ ضِدِّي جَيْشٌ، لَا يَخَافُ قَلْبِي. إنْ نَشَبَتْ عَلَيَّ حَرْبٌ، أَظَلُّ فِي ذَلِكَ مُطْمَئِنّاً. | ٣ |
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
| أَمْراً وَاحِداً طَلَبْتُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ وَإِيَّاهُ فَقَطْ أَلْتَمِسُ: أَنْ أُقِيمَ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي، لأُشَاهِدَ جَمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَأَتَأَمَّلَ فِي هَيْكَلِهِ. | ٤ |
5 For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
| لأَنَّهُ يَحْمِينِي فِي يَوْمِ الشَّرِّ تَحْتَ سَقْفِ بَيْتِهِ وَيَحْرُسُنِي آمِناً فِي خِبَاءِ خَيْمَتِهِ. إِذْ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ يَرْفَعُنِي. | ٥ |
6 And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِي الْمُحِيطِينَ بِي، وَأُقَدِّمُ لَهُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ ذَبَائِحَ هُتَافٍ، فَأُغَنِّي بَلْ أُرَنِّمُ حَمْداً لِلرَّبِّ. | ٦ |
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and listen to me.
| اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ نِدَائِي لأَنِّي بِمِلْءِ صَوْتِي أَدْعُوكَ! ارْحَمْنِي وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي. | ٧ |
8 My heart said to you, I have diligently sought your face: your face, O Lord, I will seek.
| قُلْتَ: اطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي! فَوَجْهَكَ يَا رَبُّ أَطْلُبُ. | ٨ |
9 Turn not your face away from me, turn not you away from your servant in anger: be you my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
| لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي. لَا تَطْرُدْ بِغَضَبٍ عَبْدَكَ، فَطَالَمَا كُنْتَ عَوْنِي. لَا تَرْفُضْنِي وَلَا تَهْجُرْنِي يَا اللهُ مُخَلِّصِي. | ٩ |
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
| إِنَّ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَدْ تَرَكَانِي، لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَتَعَهَّدُنِي بِرِعَايَتِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 Teach me, O Lord, in your way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
| عَلِّمْنِي يَا رَبُّ طَرِيقَكَ، وَقُدْنِي فِي طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لِئَلّا يَشْمَتَ بِي أَعْدَائِي. | ١١ |
12 Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
| لَا تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَرَامِ مُضَايِقِيَّ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ يَنْفُثُونَ الظُّلْمَ فِي وَجْهِي. | ١٢ |
13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
| غَيْرَ أَنِّي قَدْ آمَنْتُ بِأَنْ أَرَى جُودَ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened: yes wait on the Lord.
| انْتَظِرِ الرَّبَّ. تَقَوَّ وَلْيَتَشَجَّعْ قَلْبُكَ. وَانْتَظِرِ الرَّبَّ دَائِماً. | ١٤ |
