Psalms 27
1 BY DAVID. YHWH [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? YHWH [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Psalmus David priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea, et salus mea, quem timebo? Dominus protector vitæ meæ, a quo trepidabo?
2 When evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Dum appropiant super me nocentes, ut edant carnes meas: Qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
3 Though a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] confident.
Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum. Si exurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
4 One [thing] I asked of YHWH—it I seek: My dwelling in the house of YHWH, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of YHWH, And to inquire in 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 He hides me in a dwelling place in the day of evil, He hides me in a secret place of His tent, He raises me up on a rock.
Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo: in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
6 And now my head is lifted up, Above my enemies—my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, indeed, I sing praise to YHWH.
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 Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.
Exaudi Domine vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te: miserere mei, et exaudi me.
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, I seek.”
Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisivit te facies mea: faciem tuam Domine requiram.
9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant aside in anger, You have been my help. Do not leave me, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
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 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
Quoniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquerunt me: Dominus autem assumpsit me.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Legem pone mihi Domine in via tua: et dirige me in semitam rectam propter inimicos meos.
12 Do not give me to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out violence to me.
Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me: quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH In the land of the living!
Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
14 Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
