Psalmorum 27
1 Psalmus David priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea, et salus mea, quem timebo? Dominus protector vitae meae, a quo trepidabo?
[A Psalm] of 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?
2 Dum appropiant super me nocentes, ut edant carnes meas: Qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum. Si exurgat adversum me praelium, in hoc ego sperabo.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, even then will I be confident.
4 Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae: Ut videam voluntatem Domini, et visitem templum eius.
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in 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 shall keep me secretly in his pavilion: in the covert of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall lift me up upon a rock.
6 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.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Exaudi Domine vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te: miserere mei, et exaudi me.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisivit te facies mea: faciem tuam Domine requiram.
[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 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.
Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
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 a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me: quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
Wait on the LORD: be strong, and let thine heart take courage; yea, wait thou on the LORD.
