Psalms 27

A Psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.*27.2 came…: Heb. approached against me

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.*27.4 the beauty: or, the delight

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.*27.6 joy: Heb. shouting

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.*27.8 When…: or, My heart said unto thee, Let my face seek thy face, etc

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.*27.10 take…: Heb. gather me

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.*27.11 a plain…: Heb. a way of plainness*27.11 mine…: Heb. those which observe me

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

坚心倚靠 神可保安稳

大卫的诗。 1 耶和华是我的亮光，是我的救恩，

我还怕谁呢？

耶和华是我性命的避难所，

我还惧谁呢？*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 那些作恶的，就是我的敌人、我的仇敌，

他们逼近我，要吃我肉的时候，

就绊跌仆倒。

3 虽有军兵扎营攻击我，

我的心也不害怕；

虽然发动战争攻击我，

我仍旧安稳。

4 有一件事我求过耶和华，我还要寻求；

我要一生一世住在耶和华的殿里，

瞻仰他的荣美，在他的殿中求问。

5 因为在我遭难的日子，

他必把我藏在他的帐棚里，

把我隐藏在他帐幕的隐密处，

又把我高举在盘石上。

6 现在，我可以抬起头来，

高过我四周的仇敌；

我要在他的帐幕里，献上欢呼的祭；

我要歌唱，颂赞耶和华。

7 耶和华啊！我发声呼求的时候，求你垂听；

求你恩待我，应允我。

8 你说："你们要寻求我的面！"

那时我的心对你说：

"耶和华啊！你的面我正要寻求。"

9 求你不要向我掩面，

不要发怒赶逐你的仆人，

你一向是帮助我的。

拯救我的　神啊！

求你不要撇下我，也不要离弃我。

10 虽然我的父母离弃我，

耶和华却收留我。

11 耶和华啊！求你指示我你的道路；

为我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。

12 求你不要照着我敌人的心愿，把我交给他们，

因为有作假见证的人起来攻击我，

并且口出凶暴的话。

13 我还是相信，在活人之地，

我可以看见耶和华的恩惠。

14 你要等候耶和华，

要刚强，要坚定你的心，

要等候耶和华。
