Psalmorum 27
1 Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo? Dominus protector vitæ meæ: a quo trepidabo?
“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 Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas, qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
When the wicked came upon me to devour me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they stumbled and fell.
3 Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum; si exsurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.
4 Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitæ meæ; ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
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 Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo; in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
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 In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis; cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
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 Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te; miserere mei, et exaudi me.
Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!
8 Tibi dixit cor meum: Exquisivit te facies mea; faciem tuam, Domine, requiram.
When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I seek.
9 Ne avertas faciem tuam a me; ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adjutor meus esto; ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus.
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 Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me; Dominus autem assumpsit me.
For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.
11 Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua, et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos.
Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!
12 Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me, quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
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 Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!
14 Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!
