Panalangin ng Pagpupuri

Katha ni David.

27 Si Yahweh ang ilaw ko at kaligtasan;
    sino pa ba ang aking katatakutan?
Si Yahweh ang muog ng aking buhay,
    sino pa ba ang aking kasisindakan?

Kung buhay ko'y pagtangkaan ng taong masasama,
    sila'y mga kalaban ko at mga kaaway nga,
    mabubuwal lamang sila at mapapariwara.
Kahit isang hukbo ang sa aki'y pumalibot,
    hindi pa rin ako sa kanila matatakot;
salakayin man ako ng mga kaaway,
    magtitiwala pa rin ako sa Maykapal.

Kay Yahweh ay isang bagay lang ang aking hiniling,
    iisa lamang talaga ang aking hangarin:
ang tumira sa Templo niya habang buhay,
    upang kagandahan ni Yahweh'y aking mapagmasdan,
    at doo'y humingi sa kanya ng patnubay.
Itatago niya ako kapag may kaguluhan,
    sa loob ng kanyang Templo ako'y iingatan;
    sa ibabaw ng batong malaki ako'y ilalagay.
Matatalo ko ang mga nakapaligid kong kaaway.
    Sa Templo'y sisigaw nang may kagalakan, habang mga handog ko'y iniaalay;
    aawitan ko si Yahweh at papupurihan.

Pakinggan mo ako, Yahweh, sa aking panawagan,
    sagutin mo ako at iyong kahabagan.
Nang sabihin mo, Yahweh, “Lumapit ka sa akin,”
sagot ko'y, “Nariyan na ako at kita'y sasambahin.”
Huwag ka sanang magagalit sa akin;
    ang iyong lingkod, huwag mo sanang palayasin.
Tinulungan mo ako, Diyos ng aking kaligtasan,
    huwag mo po akong iwan, at huwag pabayaan!
10 Itakwil man ako ng aking ama at ina,
    si Yahweh ang sa akin ay mag-aaruga.

11 Ituro mo sa akin, Yahweh, ang iyong kagustuhan,
    sa ligtas na landas ako'y iyong samahan,
    pagkat naglipana ang aking mga kaaway.
12 Sa mga kaaway ay huwag akong ipaubaya,
    na kung lumulusob ay mga pagbabanta at kasinungalingan ang dalang sandata.

13 Naniniwala akong bago ako mamatay,
    kabutihan ni Yahweh'y aking masasaksihan.
14 Kay Yahweh tayo'y magtiwala!
    Manalig sa kanya at huwag manghinawa.
Kay Yahweh tayo magtiwala!

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.

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
    and look with my own eyes at 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;
    have mercy 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,
    and guide me to do what is right
    because I have enemies.
12 Do not hand me over to my enemies,
    because they tell lies about me
    and 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.

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!
