Salmos 27

1 Yavé es mi Luz y mi Salvación, ¿De quién temeré? Yavé es la Fortaleza de mi vida, ¿De quién me aterrorizaré?

[A Psalm] of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 Cuando se juntaron contra mí los perversos para devorar mi carne, Mis adversarios y mis enemigos tropezaron y cayeron.

When evil-doers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.

3 Aunque un ejército acampe contra mí, No temerá mi corazón. Aunque contra mí se levante guerra, Yo estaré confiado.

Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.

4 Una cosa le pedí a Yavé. Ésta buscaré: Que esté yo en la Casa de Yavé todos los días de mi vida, Para contemplar la hermosura de Yavé Y para meditar en su Templo.

One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.

5 Porque Él me esconderá en su Tabernáculo en el día del mal. Me ocultará en lo reservado de su Tabernáculo. Me pondrá en alto sobre una roca.

For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.

6 Mi cabeza será levantada sobre mis enemigos que estén alrededor, Y en su Tabernáculo ofreceré sacrificios con clamor de júbilo. Cantaré, sí, entonaré salmos a Yavé.

And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.

7 ¡Escucha, oh Yavé, cuando clamo con mi voz! ¡Ten compasión de mí y respóndeme!

Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and listen to me.

8 Mi corazón me dice de Ti: ¡Busca su rostro! Tu rostro buscaré, oh Yavé.

My heart said to you, I have diligently sought your face: your face, O Lord, I will seek.

9 No escondas tu rostro de mí, Ni rechaces con ira a tu esclavo. Has sido mi Ayuda. No me abandones Ni me desampares, Oh ʼElohim de mi salvación.

Turn not your face away from me, turn not you away from your servant in anger: be you my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.

10 Aunque mi padre y mi madre me abandonen, Yavé me recogerá.

For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.

11 Enséñame, oh Yavé, tu camino, Y guíame por senda llana, a causa de mis enemigos.

Teach me, O Lord, in your way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.

12 No me entregues a la voluntad de mis adversarios, Porque se levantaron contra mí testigos falsos que respiran violencia.

Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.

13 Hubiera yo desmayado Si no creyera que veré la bondad de Yavé en la tierra de los vivientes.

I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Espera a Yavé. ¡Sé fortalecido y aliéntese tu corazón! ¡Sí, espera a Yavé!

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened: yes wait on the Lord.
