Psalms 27
1 A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
大衛的詩。 耶和華是我的亮光，是我的拯救， 我還怕誰呢？ 耶和華是我性命的保障， 我還懼誰呢？
2 When evil people come at me to tear me apart, it's my enemies, those who are against me, they're the ones who trip and fall.
那作惡的就是我的仇敵， 前來吃我肉的時候就絆跌仆倒。
3 Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.
雖有軍兵安營攻擊我，我的心也不害怕； 雖然興起刀兵攻擊我，我必仍舊安穩。
4 I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about his Temple.
有一件事，我曾求耶和華，我仍要尋求： 就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中， 瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿裏求問。
5 When troubles come he will protect me and keep me safe, hiding me in his house, as secure as if he'd placed me on a high rock.
因為我遭遇患難，他必暗暗地保守我； 在他亭子裏，把我藏在他帳幕的隱密處， 將我高舉在磐石上。
6 He will hold my head high over my enemies who are all around me. I shall offer sacrifices in his house with shouts of joy, and I will sing praises to the Lord.
現在我得以昂首，高過四面的仇敵。 我要在他的帳幕裏歡然獻祭； 我要唱詩歌頌耶和華。
7 Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.
耶和華啊，我用聲音呼籲的時候，求你垂聽； 並求你憐恤我，應允我。
8 You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.
你說：你們當尋求我的面。 那時我心向你說：耶和華啊， 你的面我正要尋求。
9 Don't refuse to talk to me. Don't be angry with your servant and turn away. You are the one who helps me, so please don't reject me and abandon me, God of my salvation.
不要向我掩面。 不要發怒趕逐僕人， 你向來是幫助我的。 救我的上帝啊，不要丟掉我， 也不要離棄我。
10 Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.
我父母離棄我， 耶和華必收留我。
11 Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—
耶和華啊，求你將你的道指教我， 因我仇敵的緣故引導我走平坦的路。
12 don't hand me over to them and their evil intentions, for they are making false accusations against me and threatening me with violence.
求你不要把我交給敵人，遂其所願； 因為妄作見證的和口吐凶言的，起來攻擊我。
13 However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.
我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠， 就早已喪膽了。
14 Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!
要等候耶和華！ 當壯膽，堅固你的心！ 我再說，要等候耶和華！
