תהילים 27

1 לְדָוִד ׀ יְהֹוָה ׀ אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא יְהֹוָה מָעוֹז־חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָֽד׃

Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?

2 בִּקְרֹב עָלַי ׀ מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת־בְּשָׂרִי צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי הֵמָּה כָשְׁלוּ וְנָפָֽלוּ׃

When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

3 אִם־תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי ׀ מַחֲנֶה לֹא־יִירָא לִבִּי אִם־תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵֽחַ׃

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

4 אַחַת ׀ שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהֹוָה אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם־יְהֹוָה וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵֽיכָלֽוֹ׃

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

5 כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה בְּיוֹם רָעָה יַסְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵתֶר אׇהֳלוֹ בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי׃

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

6 וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹיְבַי סְֽבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאׇהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃

Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 שְׁמַע־יְהֹוָה קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא וְחׇנֵּנִי וַֽעֲנֵֽנִי׃

Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

8 לְךָ ׀ אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃

My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

9 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי אַל תַּט־בְּאַף עַבְדֶּךָ עֶזְרָתִי הָיִיתָ אַֽל־תִּטְּשֵׁנִי וְאַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִֽי׃

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 כִּֽי־אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַֽיהֹוָה יַאַסְפֵֽנִי׃

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

11 הוֹרֵנִי יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּנְחֵנִי בְּאֹרַח מִישׁוֹר לְמַעַן שֽׁוֹרְרָֽי׃

Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

12 אַֽל־תִּתְּנֵנִי בְּנֶפֶשׁ צָרָי כִּי קָמוּ־בִי עֵדֵי־שֶׁקֶר וִיפֵחַ חָמָֽס׃

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

13 לׅוּׅלֵׅאׅ הֶאֱמַנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּֽטוּב־יְהֹוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּֽים׃

Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ וְקַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָֽה׃

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
