Psalms 27
1 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?
| לְדָוִד ׀ יְהֹוָה ׀ אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא יְהֹוָה מָעוֹז־חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָֽד׃ |
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
| בִּקְרֹב עָלַי ׀ מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת־בְּשָׂרִי צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי הֵמָּה כָשְׁלוּ וְנָפָֽלוּ׃ |
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
| אִם־תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי ׀ מַחֲנֶה לֹא־יִירָא לִבִּי אִם־תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵֽחַ׃ |
4 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.
| אַחַת ׀ שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהֹוָה אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם־יְהֹוָה וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵֽיכָלֽוֹ׃ |
5 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.
| כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה בְּיוֹם רָעָה יַסְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵתֶר אׇהֳלוֹ בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי׃ |
6 And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to the LORD.
| וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹיְבַי סְֽבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאׇהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃ |
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
| שְׁמַע־יְהֹוָה קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא וְחׇנֵּנִי וַֽעֲנֵֽנִי׃ |
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said to thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
| לְךָ ׀ אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃ |
9 Hide not thy face 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.
| אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי אַל תַּט־בְּאַף עַבְדֶּךָ עֶזְרָתִי הָיִיתָ אַֽל־תִּטְּשֵׁנִי וְאַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִֽי׃ |
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
| כִּֽי־אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַֽיהֹוָה יַאַסְפֵֽנִי׃ |
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
| הוֹרֵנִי יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּנְחֵנִי בְּאֹרַח מִישׁוֹר לְמַעַן שֽׁוֹרְרָֽי׃ |
12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
| אַֽל־תִּתְּנֵנִי בְּנֶפֶשׁ צָרָי כִּי קָמוּ־בִי עֵדֵי־שֶׁקֶר וִיפֵחַ חָמָֽס׃ |
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
| לׅוּׅלֵׅאׅ הֶאֱמַנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּֽטוּב־יְהֹוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּֽים׃ |
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
| קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ וְקַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
