Salmos 27

1 De David. El SEÑOR es mi luz y mi salvación, ¿de quién temeré? El SEÑOR es la fortaleza de mi vida, ¿de quién he de atemorizarme?

[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 allegaron contra mí los malignos, mis angustiadores y mis enemigos, para comer mis carnes, ellos 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 se asiente campamento contra mí, no temerá mi corazón; aunque contra mí se levante guerra, 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 al SEÑOR, ésta buscaré; que esté yo en la Casa del SEÑOR todos los días de mi vida, para contemplar la hermosura del SEÑOR, y para inquirir 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 esconderá 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 derredor mío; y yo sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo; cantaré y salmearé al SEÑOR.

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, oh SEÑOR, mi voz con que a ti llamo; ten misericordia de mí, y respóndeme.

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

8 Mi corazón me ha dicho de ti: Buscad mi rostro. Tu rostro buscaré, oh SEÑOR.

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, no apartes con ira a tu siervo; mi ayuda has sido; no me dejes y no me desampares, Dios de mi salud.

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 Porque mi padre y mi madre me dejaron, y el SEÑOR me recogió.

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

11 Enséñame, oh SEÑOR, tu camino, y guíame por senda de rectitud, 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 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 Hubiera yo desmayado, si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad del SEÑOR en la tierra de los vivientes.

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

14 Aguarda al SEÑOR; esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón; sí, espera al SEÑOR.

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