< Psalms 27 >

1 [A Psalm] of David. 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?
لِدَاوُدَ الرَّبُّ نُورِي وَخَلاصِي، مِمَّنْ أَخَافُ؟ الرَّبُّ حِصْنُ حَيَاتِي مِمَّنْ أَرْتَعِبُ؟١
2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
عِنْدَمَا هَجَمَ فَاعِلُو الإِثْمِ، خُصُومِي وَأَعْدَائِي، لِيَلْتَهِمُوا لَحْمِي، تَعَثَّرُوا وَسَقَطُوا.٢
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, even then will I be 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, 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.
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 trouble he shall keep me secretly in his pavilion: in the covert of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall lift me up upon a rock.
لأَنَّهُ يَحْمِينِي فِي يَوْمِ الشَّرِّ تَحْتَ سَقْفِ بَيْتِهِ وَيَحْرُسُنِي آمِناً فِي خِبَاءِ خَيْمَتِهِ. إِذْ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ يَرْفَعُنِي.٥
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
حِينَئِذٍ أَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِي الْمُحِيطِينَ بِي، وَأُقَدِّمُ لَهُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ ذَبَائِحَ هُتَافٍ، فَأُغَنِّي بَلْ أُرَنِّمُ حَمْداً لِلرَّبِّ.٦
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ نِدَائِي لأَنِّي بِمِلْءِ صَوْتِي أَدْعُوكَ! ارْحَمْنِي وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي.٧
8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
قُلْتَ: اطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي! فَوَجْهَكَ يَا رَبُّ أَطْلُبُ.٨
9 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
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 will take me up.
إِنَّ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَدْ تَرَكَانِي، لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَتَعَهَّدُنِي بِرِعَايَتِهِ.١٠
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
عَلِّمْنِي يَا رَبُّ طَرِيقَكَ، وَقُدْنِي فِي طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لِئَلّا يَشْمَتَ بِي أَعْدَائِي.١١
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
لَا تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَرَامِ مُضَايِقِيَّ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ يَنْفُثُونَ الظُّلْمَ فِي وَجْهِي.١٢
13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to 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 strong, and let thine heart take courage; yea, wait thou on the LORD.
انْتَظِرِ الرَّبَّ. تَقَوَّ وَلْيَتَشَجَّعْ قَلْبُكَ. وَانْتَظِرِ الرَّبَّ دَائِماً.١٤
