Psalmorum 27
1 David priusquam liniretur Dominus inluminatio mea et salus mea quem timebo Dominus protector vitae meae a quo trepidabo
[A Psalm] of David. 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 dum adpropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas qui tribulant me et inimici mei ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 si consistant adversus me castra non timebit cor meum si exsurgat adversus me proelium in hoc ego sperabo
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, even then will I be confident.
4 unam petii a Domino hanc requiram ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnes dies vitae meae ut videam voluntatem Domini et visitem templum eius
One thing have I asked 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 inquire in his temple.
5 quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui
For in the day of trouble he shall keep me secretly in his pavilion: in the covert of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall lift me up upon a rock.
6 in petra exaltavit me et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos circuivi et immolavi in tabernaculo eius hostiam vociferationis cantabo et psalmum dicam Domino
And now shall mine 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 the LORD.
7 exaudi Domine vocem meam qua clamavi miserere mei et exaudi me
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 tibi dixit cor meum exquisivit facies mea faciem tuam Domine requiram
[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 ne avertas faciem tuam a me ne declines in ira a servo tuo adiutor meus esto ne derelinquas me neque dispicias me Deus salvator meus
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.
10 quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me Dominus autem adsumpsit me
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me up.
11 legem pone mihi Domine in via tua et dirige me in semita recta propter inimicos meos
Teach me thy way, O LORD; and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui et mentita est iniquitas sibi
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium
[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 expecta Dominum viriliter age et confortetur cor tuum et sustine Dominum
Wait on the LORD: be strong, and let thine heart take courage; yea, wait thou on the LORD.
