Psalms 27
1 By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Psalmus David priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea, et salus mea, quem timebo? Dominus protector vitæ meæ, a quo trepidabo?
2 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Dum appropiant super me nocentes, ut edant carnes meas: Qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
3 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.
Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum. Si exurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
4 One [thing] I asked of Jehovah — it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitæ meæ: Ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum eius.
5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo: in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
6 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies — my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
In petra exaltavit me: et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo eius hostiam vociferationis: cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice — I call, And favour me, and answer me.
Exaudi Domine vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te: miserere mei, et exaudi me.
8 To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'
Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisivit te facies mea: faciem tuam Domine requiram.
9 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Ne avertas faciem tuam a me: ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adiutor meus esto: ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me Deus salutaris meus.
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
Quoniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquerunt me: Dominus autem assumpsit me.
11 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Legem pone mihi Domine in via tua: et dirige me in semitam rectam propter inimicos meos.
12 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me: quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
14 Look unto Jehovah — be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
