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. The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?

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 people come at me to tear me apart, it's my enemies, those who are against me, they're the ones who trip and fall.

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

Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.

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.

I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about 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.

When troubles come he will protect me and keep me safe, hiding me in his house, as secure as if he'd placed me on a high 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.

He will hold my head high over my enemies who are all around me. I shall offer sacrifices in his house with shouts of joy, and I will sing praises to the Lord.

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

Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.

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

You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.

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.

Don't refuse to talk to me. Don't be angry with your servant and turn away. You are the one who helps me, so please don't reject me and abandon me, God of my salvation.

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

Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.

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

Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—

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

don't hand me over to them and their evil intentions, for they are making false accusations against me and threatening me with violence.

13 Si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová en la tierra de los vivientes.

However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.

14 Espera a Jehová, esfuérzate, y esfuércese tu corazón: y espera a Jehová.

Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!
