< Psalms 27 >
1 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?
大卫的诗。 耶和华是我的亮光,是我的拯救, 我还怕谁呢? 耶和华是我性命的保障, 我还惧谁呢?
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
那作恶的就是我的仇敌, 前来吃我肉的时候就绊跌仆倒。
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
虽有军兵安营攻击我,我的心也不害怕; 虽然兴起刀兵攻击我,我必仍旧安稳。
4 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 enquire in his temple.
有一件事,我曾求耶和华,我仍要寻求: 就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中, 瞻仰他的荣美,在他的殿里求问。
5 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.
因为我遭遇患难,他必暗暗地保守我; 在他亭子里,把我藏在他帐幕的隐密处, 将我高举在磐石上。
6 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.
现在我得以昂首,高过四面的仇敌。 我要在他的帐幕里欢然献祭; 我要唱诗歌颂耶和华。
7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
耶和华啊,我用声音呼吁的时候,求你垂听; 并求你怜恤我,应允我。
8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”
你说:你们当寻求我的面。 那时我心向你说:耶和华啊, 你的面我正要寻求。
9 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.
不要向我掩面。 不要发怒赶逐仆人, 你向来是帮助我的。 救我的 神啊,不要丢掉我, 也不要离弃我。
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
我父母离弃我, 耶和华必收留我。
11 Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
耶和华啊,求你将你的道指教我, 因我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。
12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
求你不要把我交给敌人,遂其所愿; 因为妄作见证的和口吐凶言的,起来攻击我。
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
我若不信在活人之地得见耶和华的恩惠, 就早已丧胆了。
14 Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
要等候耶和华! 当壮胆,坚固你的心! 我再说,要等候耶和华!
