Psalm 27
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:
therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me;
put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help;
leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord,
and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:
for false witnesses are risen up against me,
and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord:
be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27
Modern English Version
Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom will I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
to eat my flesh—
my enemies and my foes—
they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident.
4 One thing I have asked from the Lord,
that will I seek after—
for me to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to see the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He will hide me in His pavilion;
in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;
He will set me up on a rock.
6 Now my head will be lifted up
above my enemies encircling me;
therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Be gracious to me and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
my heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face far from me;
do not thrust Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help.
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 If my father and my mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take me in.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
and lead me in an upright path,
because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my enemies;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13 I believe
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;
be strong, and may your heart be stout;
wait on the Lord.
Salmos 27
Reina Valera Contemporánea
El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación
Salmo de David.
27 El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación;
¿a quién podría yo temer?
El Señor es la fortaleza de mi vida;
¿quién podría infundirme miedo?
2 Mis malvados enemigos me ponen en aprietos;
se juntan y hacen planes de acabar conmigo,
pero son ellos los que tropiezan y caen.
3 Aunque un ejército acampe contra mí,
mi corazón no se amedrentará;
aunque me ataquen y me declaren la guerra,
en esto fincaré mi confianza:
4 Le he pedido al Señor, y sólo esto busco:
habitar en su casa todos los días de mi vida,
para contemplar su hermosura y solazarme en su templo.
5 Cuando vengan los días malos,
él me esconderá en su santuario;
me ocultará en lo más recóndito de su templo,
me pondrá en lo alto de una roca.
6 Ante los enemigos que me rodean
me hará levantar la cabeza,
y llevaré a su templo mis ofrendas de alegría
y allí cantaré salmos al Señor.
7 Señor, escúchame cuando a ti me dirija;
¡ten compasión de mí, y respóndeme!
8 A mi corazón le pides buscar tu rostro,
y yo, Señor, tu rostro busco.
9 Tú eres mi Dios y salvador;
¡No escondas de mí tu rostro!
No apartes con enojo a este siervo tuyo,
pues siempre has sido mi ayuda.
¡No me dejes ni me desampares!
10 Podrían mi padre y mi madre abandonarme,
pero tú, Señor, me recogerás.
11 Por causa de mis adversarios,
enséñame, Señor, tu camino
y llévame por el camino recto.
12 Testigos falsos y violentos se levantan contra mí;
¡no permitas que hagan conmigo lo que quieran!
13 ¡Yo estoy seguro, Señor, que he de ver
tu bondad en esta tierra de los vivientes!
14 ¡Espera en el Señor!
¡Infunde a tu corazón ánimo y aliento!
¡Sí, espera en el Señor!
