Salmo de David.

27 El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación,
    entonces ¿por qué habría de temer?
El Señor es mi fortaleza y me protege del peligro,
    entonces ¿por qué habría de temblar?
Cuando los malvados vengan a devorarme,
    cuando mis enemigos y adversarios me ataquen,
    tropezarán y caerán.
Aunque un ejército poderoso me rodee,
    mi corazón no temerá.
Aunque me ataquen,
    permaneceré confiado.

Lo único que le pido al Señor
    —lo que más anhelo—
es vivir en la casa del Señor todos los días de mi vida,
    deleitándome en la perfección del Señor
    y meditando dentro de su templo.
Pues él me ocultará allí cuando vengan dificultades;
    me esconderá en su santuario.
    Me pondrá en una roca alta donde nadie me alcanzará.
Entonces mantendré mi cabeza en alto,
    por encima de los enemigos que me rodean.
En su santuario ofreceré sacrificios con gritos de alegría,
    y con música cantaré y alabaré al Señor.

Escúchame cuando oro, oh Señor;
    ¡ten misericordia y respóndeme!
Mi corazón te ha oído decir: «Ven y conversa conmigo».
    Y mi corazón responde: «Aquí vengo, Señor».
No me des la espalda;
    no rechaces a tu siervo con enojo.
    Tú siempre has sido mi ayudador.
No me dejes ahora; no me abandones,
    ¡oh Dios de mi salvación!
10 Aunque mi padre y mi madre me abandonen,
    el Señor me mantendrá cerca.

11 Enséñame cómo vivir, oh Señor.
    Guíame por el camino correcto,
    porque mis enemigos me esperan.
12 No permitas que caiga en sus manos.
    Pues me acusan de cosas que nunca hice;
    cada vez que respiran, me amenazan con violencia.
13 Sin embargo, yo confío en que veré la bondad del Señor
    mientras estoy aquí, en la tierra de los vivientes.

14 Espera con paciencia al Señor;
    sé valiente y esforzado;
    sí, espera al Señor con paciencia.

A Song of Trust in God

Of David.

27 The Lord is my light and the one who saves me.
    So why should I fear anyone?
The Lord protects my life.
    So why should I be afraid?
Evil people may try to destroy my body.
    My enemies and those who hate me attack me.
But they are overwhelmed and defeated.
If an army surrounds me,
    I will not be afraid.
If war breaks out,
    I will trust the Lord.

I ask only one thing from the Lord.
    This is what I want:
Let me live in the Lord’s house
    all my life.
Let me see the Lord’s beauty.
    Let me look around in his Temple.
During danger he will keep me safe in his shelter.
    He will hide me in his Holy Tent.
    Or he will keep me safe on a high mountain.
My head is higher
    than my enemies around me.
I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent.
    I will sing and praise the Lord.

Lord, hear me when I call.
    Be kind and answer me.
My heart said of you, “Go, worship him.”
    So I come to worship you, Lord.
Do not turn away from me.
    Do not turn your servant away in anger.
    You have helped me.
Do not push me away or leave me alone,
    God, my Savior.
10 If my father and mother leave me,
    the Lord will take me in.
11 Lord, teach me your ways.
    Guide me to do what is right
    because I have enemies.
12 Do not let my enemies defeat me.
    They tell lies about me.
    They say they will hurt me.

13 I truly believe
    I will live to see the Lord’s goodness.
14 Wait for the Lord’s help.
    Be strong and brave
    and wait for the Lord’s help.

Psalm 27

Of David.

The Lord is my light(A) and my salvation(B)
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold(C) of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?(D)

When the wicked advance against me
    to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.(E)
Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;(F)
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.(G)

One thing(H) I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,(I)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble(J)
    he will keep me safe(K) in his dwelling;
he will hide me(L) in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.(M)

Then my head will be exalted(N)
    above the enemies who surround me;(O)
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice(P) with shouts of joy;(Q)
    I will sing(R) and make music(S) to the Lord.

Hear my voice(T) when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.(U)
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!(V)
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Do not hide your face(W) from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;(X)
    you have been my helper.(Y)
Do not reject me or forsake(Z) me,
    God my Savior.(AA)
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way,(AB) Lord;
    lead me in a straight path(AC)
    because of my oppressors.(AD)
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses(AE) rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord(AF)
    in the land of the living.(AG)
14 Wait(AH) for the Lord;
    be strong(AI) and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.
