Psalms 27

1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector 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 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.

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

3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this 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 I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit 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 he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.

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

6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm 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, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.

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

8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.

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

9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.

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 left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.

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

11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide 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 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.

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

13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

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

14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.

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