תהילים 27

1 לְדָוִד ׀ יְהוָה ׀ אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא יְהוָה מָֽעוֹז־חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָֽד׃

“A psalm of David.” The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

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

When the wicked came upon me to devour me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they stumbled and fell.

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

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.

4 אַחַת ׀ שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהוָה אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְהוָה כָּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹֽעַם־יְהוָה וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלֽוֹ׃

One thing have I desired of the LORD; that do I yet seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the grace of the LORD, And to gaze upon his temple.

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

For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion; Yea, in the secret place of his tabernacle will he shelter me; He will set me upon a rock.

6 וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹֽיְבַי סְֽבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַיהוָֽה׃

Yea, already doth he lift my head above my enemies, who are around me; Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer sacrifices with the sound of trumpets; I will sing, yea, with instruments of music I will give praise to the LORD.

7 שְׁמַע־יְהוָה קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא וְחָנֵּנִי וַעֲנֵֽנִי׃

Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!

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

When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I seek.

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

O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!

10 כִּי־אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַֽיהוָה יַֽאַסְפֵֽנִי׃

For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.

11 הוֹרֵנִי יְהוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּנְחֵנִי בְּאֹרַח מִישׁוֹר לְמַעַן שׁוֹרְרָֽי׃

Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!

12 אַֽל־תִּתְּנֵנִי בְּנֶפֶשׁ צָרָי כִּי קָֽמוּ־בִי עֵֽדֵי־שֶׁקֶר וִיפֵחַ חָמָֽס׃

Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.

13 לׅוּלֵׅאׅ הֶאֱמַנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּֽטוּב־יְהוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּֽים׃

I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!

14 קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהוָה חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ וְקַוֵּה אֶל־יְהוָֽה׃

Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!
