[[[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? |
|
27:1 ¶
[[[A Psalm] of David.]]º
Yahwehº
[is] my lightº
and my salvation;º
whomºº
shall I fear?ºº
Yahwehº
[is] the strengthº
of my life;º
of whomºº
shall I be afraid?ºº |
|
27:2
When evil-doers drew nigh against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell. |
|
27:2
When the wicked,ºº
[even] mine enemiesº
and my foes,ºº
cameºº
uponº
me to eat upººº
my flesh,º
theyº
stumbledºº
and fell.ºº |
|
27:3
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. |
|
27:3
Thoughº
an hostº
should encampºº
againstº
me, my heartº
shall notº
fear:ºº
thoughº
warº
should riseºº
againstº
me, in thisº
[will] Iº
[be] confident.ºº |
|
27:4
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. |
|
27:4
Oneº
[thing] have I desiredºº
ofºº
Yahweh,º
that will I seekºº
after;º
that I may dwellºº
in the houseº
of Yahwehº
allº
the daysº
of my life,º
to beholdºº
the beautyº
of Yahweh,º
and to enquireºº
in his temple.º |
|
27:5
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. |
|
27:5
Forº
in the timeº
of troubleº
he shall hideºº
me in his pavilion:º
in the secretº
of his tabernacleº
shall he hideºº
me; he shall set me upºº
upon a rock.º |
|
27:6
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. |
|
27:6
And nowº
shall mine headº
be lifted upºº
aboveº
mine enemiesºº
round aboutº
me: therefore will I offerºº
in his tabernacleº
sacrificesº
of joy;º
I will sing,ºº
yea, I will sing praisesºº
unto Yahweh.º |
|
27:7
Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me. |
|
27:7
Hear,ºº
O Yahweh,º
[when] I cryºº
with my voice:º
have mercyºº
also upon me, and answerºº
me. |
|
27:8
My heart said to thee, I have diligently sought thy face: thy face, O Lord, I will seek. |
|
27:8
[When thou saidst], Seekºº
ye my face;º
my heartº
saidºº
unto thee,º
Thy face,º
Yahweh,º
will I seek.ºº |
|
27:9
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. |
|
27:9
Hideºº
notº
thy faceº
[far] fromº
me; putºº
not thy servantº
awayºººº
in anger:º
thou hast beenº
my help;º
leaveºº
me not,º
neitherº
forsakeºº
me, O Elohimº
of my salvation.º |
|
27:10
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself. |
|
27:10
Whenº
my fatherº
and my motherº
forsakeºº
me, then Yahwehº
will take me up.ºº |
|
27:11
Teach me, O Lord, in thy way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies. |
|
27:11
Teachºº
me thy way,º
O Yahweh,º
and leadºº
me in a plainº
path,º
because ofº
mine enemies.ºº |
|
27:12
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. |
|
27:12
Deliverºº
me notº
over unto the willº
of mine enemies:º
forº
falseº
witnessesº
are risen upºº
against me, and such as breathe outº
cruelty.º |
|
27:13
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. |
|
27:13
[I had fainted], unlessº
I had believedºº
to seeºº
the goodnessº
of Yahwehº
in the landº
of the living.º |
|
27:14
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let thy heart be strengthened: yea wait on the Lord. |

onº
Yahweh:º
be of good courage,ºº
and he shall strengthenºº
thine heart:º
wait,ºº
I say, onº
Yahweh.º |
