Salmos 27

1 Jehová es mi luz y mi salud, ¿de quién temeré? Jehová es la fortaleza de mi vida, ¿de quién me espavoreceré?

[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 acercaron sobre mí los malignos para comer mis carnes: mis angustiadores y mis enemigos a mí, ellos tropezaron y cayeron.

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

3 Aunque se asiente campo sobre mí, no temerá mi corazón: aunque se levante guerra sobre mí, yo en esto confío.

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 he demandado a Jehová, esta buscaré: Que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida, para ver la hermosura de Jehová, y para buscar 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: esconderme ha en el escondrijo de su tienda: en roca me pondrá alto.

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 Y luego ensalzará mi cabeza sobre mis enemigos en mis al derredores: y sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de jubilación: cantaré y salmearé a Jehová.

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 Oye, o! Jehová, mi voz con que llamo: y ten misericordia de mí, y respóndeme.

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

8 Mi corazón ha dicho de ti: Buscád mi rostro. Tu rostro, o! Jehová, buscaré.

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

9 No escondas tu rostro de mí, no apartes con ira tu siervo: mi ayuda has sido, no me dejes, y no me desampares Dios de mi salud.

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

10 Porque mi padre y mi madre me dejaron: y Jehová me recogerá.

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

11 Enséñame, o! Jehová, tu camino: y guíame por senda de rectitud a causa de mis enemigos.

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

12 No me entregues a la voluntad de mis enemigos: porque se han levantado contra mí testigos falsos, y quien habla calumnia.

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 Si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová 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 Jehová, esfuérzate, y esfuércese tu corazón: y espera a Jehová.

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