Psalms 27
1 [By David.] Jehovah is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
| לְדָוִד ׀ יְהֹוָה ׀ אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא יְהֹוָה מָעוֹז־חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָֽד׃ |
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
| בִּקְרֹב עָלַי ׀ מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת־בְּשָׂרִי צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי הֵמָּה כָשְׁלוּ וְנָפָֽלוּ׃ |
3 Though an army is deployed against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
| אִם־תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי ׀ מַחֲנֶה לֹא־יִירָא לִבִּי אִם־תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵֽחַ׃ |
4 One thing I have asked of Jehovah, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to see Jehovah's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
| אַחַת ׀ שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהֹוָה אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם־יְהֹוָה וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵֽיכָלֽוֹ׃ |
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
| כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה בְּיוֹם רָעָה יַסְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵתֶר אׇהֳלוֹ בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי׃ |
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Jehovah.
| וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹיְבַי סְֽבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאׇהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃ |
7 Hear, Jehovah, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
| שְׁמַע־יְהֹוָה קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא וְחׇנֵּנִי וַֽעֲנֵֽנִי׃ |
8 My heart said of you, "Seek his face." Your face, Jehovah, I will seek.
| לְךָ ׀ אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃ |
9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
| אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי אַל תַּט־בְּאַף עַבְדֶּךָ עֶזְרָתִי הָיִיתָ אַֽל־תִּטְּשֵׁנִי וְאַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִֽי׃ |
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.
| כִּֽי־אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַֽיהֹוָה יַאַסְפֵֽנִי׃ |
11 Teach me your way, Jehovah. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
| הוֹרֵנִי יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּנְחֵנִי בְּאֹרַח מִישׁוֹר לְמַעַן שֽׁוֹרְרָֽי׃ |
12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out violence.
| אַֽל־תִּתְּנֵנִי בְּנֶפֶשׁ צָרָי כִּי קָמוּ־בִי עֵדֵי־שֶׁקֶר וִיפֵחַ חָמָֽס׃ |
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.
| לׅוּׅלֵׅאׅ הֶאֱמַנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּֽטוּב־יְהֹוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּֽים׃ |
14 Wait for Jehovah. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Jehovah.
| קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ וְקַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
