Psalms 27

1 “A psalm of David.” The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD El kalem luk ac lango luk; Su nga ac fah sangeng se? LEUM GOD El pot ku nu ke moul luk, Su nga ac fah sangeng se?

2 When the wicked came upon me to devour me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they stumbled and fell.

Ke mwet koluk elos tuku in lainyu ac suk in uniyuwi, Elos tukulkul ac ikori.

3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.

Finne sie un mwet mweun tuku rauniyula, Nga fah tiana sangeng; Finne mwet lokoalok tuku lainyu, Nga fah lulalfongi na God.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD; that do I yet seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the grace of the LORD, And to gaze upon his temple.

Nga siyuk sin LEUM GOD ke ma se, Ac ma sefanna nga lungsik: Tuh nga in muta in lohm sin LEUM GOD in moul luk nufon, In liye kasrpen wolana lal, Ac in siyuk ke koko lal.

5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion; Yea, in the secret place of his tabernacle will he shelter me; He will set me upon a rock.

In pacl in ongoiya, El fah lisringyuyak; El fah karinginyu in Tempul lal Ac oru tuh nga in moulla fin sie eot fulat.

6 Yea, already doth he lift my head above my enemies, who are around me; Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer sacrifices with the sound of trumpets; I will sing, yea, with instruments of music I will give praise to the LORD.

Tuh nga fah kutangla mwet lokoalok su rauniyula. Nga fah orek kisa in lohm sel ke pusren engan lulap; Nga fah on, ac nga fah kaksakin LEUM GOD.

7 Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!

Lohngyu, O LEUM GOD, ke nga pang nu sum! Pakomutuk ac topukyu!

8 When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I seek.

Ke kom fahk, “Fahsru ac alu nu sik,” Na nga topuk, “Aok, LEUM GOD, nga ac fahsrot.”

9 O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!

Nikmet wikinkomla likiyu! Nikmet kasrkusrak sik; Nikmet supwala mwet kulansap lom liki kom. Kom nuna mwet kasru luk; Nikmet fahsr likiyu ku sisyula, O God, Mwet Lango luk.

10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.

Sahp papa tumuk ac nina kiuk elos ku in sisyula, Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fah karinginyu.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!

LEUM GOD, luti nu sik ma kom lungsum tuh nga in oru, Ac kolyu ke inkanek wo lom, Mweyen pus mwet lokoalok luk.

12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.

Nikmet sisyula nu inpoun mwet lokoalok luk Su lainyu ke kas kikiap ac kas in aksangeng.

13 I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!

Nga etu tuh nga fah moul ac liye Woiyen LEUM GOD in moul se inge.

14 Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!

Lulalfongi in LEUM GOD. Lulalfongi, ac tia fuhleak. Lulalfongi na in LEUM GOD.
