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.

Yavé es mi Luz y mi Salvación, ¿De quién temeré? Yavé es la Fortaleza de mi vida, ¿De quién me aterrorizaré?

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

Cuando se juntaron contra mí los perversos para devorar mi carne, Mis adversarios y mis enemigos tropezaron y cayeron.

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

Aunque un ejército acampe contra mí, No temerá mi corazón. Aunque contra mí se levante guerra, Yo estaré confiado.

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 cosa le pedí a Yavé. Ésta buscaré: Que esté yo en la Casa de Yavé todos los días de mi vida, Para contemplar la hermosura de Yavé Y para meditar en su Templo.

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 Él me esconderá en su Tabernáculo en el día del mal. Me ocultará en lo reservado de su Tabernáculo. Me pondrá en alto sobre una 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.

Mi cabeza será levantada sobre mis enemigos que estén alrededor, Y en su Tabernáculo ofreceré sacrificios con clamor de júbilo. Cantaré, sí, entonaré salmos a Yavé.

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

¡Escucha, oh Yavé, cuando clamo con mi voz! ¡Ten compasión de mí y respóndeme!

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

Mi corazón me dice de Ti: ¡Busca su rostro! Tu rostro buscaré, oh Yavé.

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 escondas tu rostro de mí, Ni rechaces con ira a tu esclavo. Has sido mi Ayuda. No me abandones Ni me desampares, Oh ʼElohim de mi salvación.

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

Aunque mi padre y mi madre me abandonen, Yavé 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.

Enséñame, oh Yavé, tu camino, Y guíame por senda llana, a causa de mis enemigos.

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 entregues a la voluntad de mis adversarios, Porque se levantaron contra mí testigos falsos que respiran violencia.

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

Hubiera yo desmayado Si no creyera que veré la bondad de Yavé 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]!

Espera a Yavé. ¡Sé fortalecido y aliéntese tu corazón! ¡Sí, espera a Yavé!
