Psalms 27
|
Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me? | [A Psalm] of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? |
When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame. | When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [Even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. |
Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved. | Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident. |
One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple. | One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple. |
For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me. | For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock. |
And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord. | And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah. |
O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer. | Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. |
When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search. | [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek. |
Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation. | Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. |
When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support. | When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up. |
Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters. | Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies. |
Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction. | Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty. |
I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living. | [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living. |
Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord. | Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. |
