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.

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?

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 evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

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 a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] 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] 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.

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

My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, 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.

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.

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

When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.

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

Show me, O YHWH, Your way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

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 give me to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out violence to me.

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

I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH In the land of the living!

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

Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
