Psalm 27
1 IEOWA kamarain pa i o kamaur pa i, is me i en masak? Ieowa kel pan maur i, is me i en lomwinki?
A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my saviour; whom then should I fear? The Lord protects my life; whom then should I dread?
2 Ma mesued akan pan tanga dong ia, pwen kawela uduk ai o ai imwintiti kan, re pan dipikelekel o pupedi.
When the wicked drew near to assail me and eat up my flesh, it was those who distressed and opposed me who stumbled and fell.
3 Ma pwin saunpei pan kapil ia pena, i sota pan masapwekada, o ma mauin pan wiaui ong ia, i pan liki i.
Though against me a host should encamp, yet my heart would be fearless: though battle should rise up against me, still would I be trustful.
4 Iet eta, me i inong iong o men poeki ren Ieowa, i en mimieta nan tanpas en Ieowa arain ai maur, pwen kilekilang saraui kaselel en Ieowa kan, o ududial sapwilim a im en kaudok.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, and that do I long for – To live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the grace of the Lord and inquire in his temple.
5 Pwe ni ansau apwal a kotin sinsila ia nan tanpas a im pwal. A pan kotin karuk ia la nan tanpas a im likau, o kotin kau ia da pon paip eu.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of misfortune. In his sheltering tent he hides me: he lifts me up on a rock.
6 A pan kotin kasapwil ia dang pon ai imwintiti kan, me kapil ia pena; i ap pan wiada mairong en kaping nan tanpas a im pwal, i pan kaul o kaping ong Ieowa.
And now that my head he has lifted above my encircling foes, I will march round the altar and sacrifice, shouting with joy, in his tent, making music and song to the Lord.
7 Maing, kom kotin ereki ngil ai, ma i pan likwir ong komui, kom kotin maki ong ia o mangi ia.
Hear, O Lord, my loud cry, and graciously answer me.
8 Mongiong i kin kataman kin komui omui masan: Komail rapa kin ia! I me i pil kin rapaki silang omui. Maing Ieowa!
My heart has said to you, ‘Your face, O Lord, I seek.’
9 Der karir sang silang omui mo i, o der kasapokela sapwilim omui ladu ni omui ongiong; pwe komui me sauas pa i. Kom der kotin kase ia la, o ender muei sang i, Kot ai saunkamaur.
Hide not your face from me, reject not your servant in anger: for you have been my help. Abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my help:
10 Pwe sam ai in ai likidmalie ia la; a Ieowa kotin sapwilim anekin ia la.
for father and mother have left me; but the Lord will take me up.
11 Maing, kom kotin kasale ong ia sapwilim omui al o kalua ia nani al pung pweki ai imwintiti kan.
Teach me your way, O Lord: lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.
12 Kom der kotin mueid ong ai imwintiti kan en kaloe ia di; pwe saunkadede likam palian ia, o re wia sapung ong ia so masak.
Give me not up, O Lord, unto the rage of my foes; for against me have risen false witnesses, breathing out cruelty.
13 Ari so, i asa, me i pan ududial kalangan en Ieowa nan sap en me memaur akan.
Firm is the faith I cherish, that I, in the land of the living, will yet see the goodness of God.
14 Auiaui Ieowa! Der masak, o mongiong om ender masak, o auiaui Ieowa!
Let your heart be courageous and strong, and wait on the Lord.
