27 Salmo de David. JEHOVA es mi luz y mi salvación: ¿de quién temeré? Jehová es la fortaleza de mi vida: ¿de quién he de atemorizarme?

Cuando se allegaron contra mí los malignos, mis angustiadores y mis enemigos, Para comer mis carnes, ellos tropezaron y cayeron.

Aunque se asiente campo contra mí, No temerá mi corazón: Aunque contra mí se levante guerra, Yo en esto confío.

Una cosa he demandado á Jehová, ésta buscaré: Que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida, Para contemplar la hermosura de Jehová, y para inquirir en su templo.

Porque él me esconderá en su tabernáculo en el día del mal; Ocultaráme en lo reservado de su pabellón; Pondráme en alto sobre una roca.

Y luego ensalzará mi cabeza sobre mis enemigos en derredor de mí: Y yo sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo: Cantaré y salmearé á Jehová.

Oye, oh Jehová, mi voz con que á ti clamo; Y ten misericordia de mí, respóndeme.

Mi corazón ha dicho de ti: Buscad mi rostro. Tu rostro buscaré, oh Jehová.

No escondas tu rostro de mí, No apartes con ira á tu siervo: Mi ayuda has sido; No me dejes y no me desampares, Dios de mi salud.

10 Aunque mi padre y mi madre me dejaran, Jehová con todo me recogerá.

11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino, Y guíame por senda de rectitud, A causa de mis enemigos.

12 No me entregues á la voluntad de mis enemigos; Porque se han levantado contra mí testigos falsos, y los que respiran crueldad.

13 Hubiera yo desmayado, si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová En la tierra de los vivientes.

14 Aguarda á Jehová; Esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón: Sí, espera á Jehová.

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

A Psalm of David.

27 The Lord is my (A)light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The (B)Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me
To (C)eat[a] up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
(D)Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

(E)One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may (F)dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the [b]beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
For (G)in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall (H)set me high upon a rock.

And now (I)my head shall be [c]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of [d]joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
(J)Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 (K)When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

11 (L)Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For (M)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
(N)In the land of the living.

14 (O)Wait[e] on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
