Psalms 27

1 Of David - Yahweh - [is] light my and salvation my from whom? will I be afraid Yahweh [is] [the] refuge of life my from whom? will I be in dread.

Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?

2 When drew near on me - evil-doers to devour flesh my opponents my and enemies my to me they they stumbled and they fell.

When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

3 Though it will encamp on me - a camp not it will fear heart my though it will arise on me warfare in this I [will be] trusting.

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

4 One [thing] - I have asked from with Yahweh it I will seek to dwell I in [the] house of Yahweh all [the] days of life my to look on [the] kindness of Yahweh and to inquire in temple his.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

5 For he will conceal me - in refuge his in a day of trouble he will hide me in [the] hiding place of tent his on a rock he will raise up me.

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

6 And now it will rise head my above enemies my around me and I will sacrifice in tent his sacrifices of a shout of joy I will sing and I will sing praises to Yahweh.

Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Hear O Yahweh voice my I call out and show favor to me and answer me.

Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

8 Of you - it has said heart my seek face my face your O Yahweh I will seek.

My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

9 May not you hide face your - from me may not you turn aside in anger servant your help my you have been may not you abandon me and may not you forsake me O God of salvation my.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 For father my and mother my they have forsaken me and Yahweh he will receive me.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

11 Teach me O Yahweh way your and lead me in a path of level ground on account of enemies my.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

12 May not you give me in [the] desire of opponents my for they have arisen on me witnesses of falsehood and a witness of violence.

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

13 If not I had believed to look on [the] goodness of Yahweh in [the] land of living [people].

Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 Wait to Yahweh be strong so may it show strength heart your and wait to Yahweh.

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
