Psalms 27

1 Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.

De David. Yahvé es mi luz y mi socorro; ¿a quién temeré? La defensa de mi vida es Yahvé; ¿ante quién podré temblar?

2 When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.

Cada vez que me asaltan los malignos para devorar mi carne, son ellos, mis adversarios y enemigos, quienes vacilan y caen.

3 [Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].

Si un ejército acampase contra mí, mi corazón no temería; y aunque estalle contra mí la guerra, tendré confianza.

4 There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].

Una sola cosa he pedido a Yahvé, y esto sí lo reclamo: [habitar en la casa de Yahvé todos los días de mi vida]; contemplar la suavidad de Yahvé y meditar en su santuario.

5 He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).

Porque en el día malo Él me esconderá en su tienda; me tendrá seguro en el secreto de su tabernáculo, y me pondrá sobre una alta roca.

6 Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.

Entonces mi cabeza se alzará por encima de mis enemigos en torno mío, e inmolaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo; cantaré y entonaré salmos a Yahvé.

7 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.

Escucha, oh Yahvé, mi voz que te llama; ten misericordia de mí y atiéndeme.

8 I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.

Mi corazón sabe que Tú has dicho: “Buscadme.” Y yo busco tu rostro, oh Yahvé.

9 I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].

No quieras esconderme tu faz, no rechaces con desdén a tu siervo. Mi socorro eres Tú; no me eches fuera, ni me desampares, oh Dios, Salvador mío.

10 [Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.

Si mi padre y mi madre me abandonan, Yahvé me recogerá.

11 Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.

Muéstrame, oh Yahvé, tu camino, y condúceme por la senda llana a causa de los que me están asechando.

12 Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.

No me dejes entregado a la voluntad de mis enemigos, porque se han levantado contra mí falsos testigos que respiran crueldad.

13 But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.

¡Ah, si no creyera yo que veré los bienes de Yahvé en la tierra de los vivientes!

14 So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!

¡Aguarda a Yahvé y ten ánimo; aliéntese tu corazón y aguarde a Yahvé!
