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.

[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?

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, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they 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 host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.

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] have I desired 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 enquire 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 time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up 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.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

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

Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

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

[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I 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 thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

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

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

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

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

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.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

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

[I had fainted], unless I had believed 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 on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
