Psalmorum 27
1 David priusquam liniretur Dominus inluminatio mea et salus mea quem timebo Dominus protector vitae meae a quo trepidabo
By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
2 dum adpropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas qui tribulant me et inimici mei ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt
When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
3 si consistant adversus me castra non timebit cor meum si exsurgat adversus me proelium in hoc ego sperabo
Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] 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] I asked of Jehovah — it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
5 quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui
For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
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, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies — my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
7 exaudi Domine vocem meam qua clamavi miserere mei et exaudi me
Hear, O Jehovah, my voice — I call, And favour me, and answer me.
8 tibi dixit cor meum exquisivit facies mea faciem tuam Domine requiram
To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, 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
Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me Dominus autem adsumpsit me
When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
11 legem pone mihi Domine in via tua et dirige me in semita recta propter inimicos meos
Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
12 ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui et mentita est iniquitas sibi
Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
13 credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium
I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
14 expecta Dominum viriliter age et confortetur cor tuum et sustine Dominum
Look unto Jehovah — be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
