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. 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 evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, 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 army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will 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 I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, 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 in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift 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.

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 the LORD.

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

Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

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

When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”

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.

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, 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 your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my 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.

Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, 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 am still confident of this: I will 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 for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
