Psalmorum 27
1 David priusquam liniretur Dominus inluminatio 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 shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 dum adpropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas qui tribulant me et 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 adversus me castra non timebit cor meum si exsurgat adversus me proelium 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 omnes dies vitae meae ut videam voluntatem Domini et visitem templum eius
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 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 eius 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 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 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 adiutor meus esto ne derelinquas me neque dispicias me Deus salvator 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 adsumpsit 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 semita recta 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!
