Psalm 27
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
27 Yahweh is my (A)light and my (B)salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the [a](C)strong defense of my life;
(D)Whom shall I dread?
2 When evildoers came upon me to (E)devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they (F)stumbled and fell.
3 Though a (G)host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In this I (H)trust.
4 (I)One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek:
That I may (J)dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,
To behold (K)the [b]beauty of Yahweh
And to (L)inquire in His temple.
5 For in the (M)day of calamity He will (N)conceal me in His shelter;
In the secret place of His tent He will (O)hide me;
He will (P)lift me up on a rock.
6 And now (Q)my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent (R)sacrifices with loud shouts of joy;
I will (S)sing, and I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 (T)Hear, O Yahweh, when I call with my voice,
And be gracious to me and (U)answer me.
8 On Your behalf my heart says, “(V)Seek My face,”
“Your face, O Yahweh, (W)I shall seek.”
9 (X)Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your slave away in (Y)anger;
You have been (Z)my help;
(AA)Do not abandon me and do not (AB)forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
10 [c]For my father and (AC)my mother have forsaken me,
But (AD)Yahweh will take me up.
11 (AE)Instruct me in Your way, O Yahweh,
And lead me in a (AF)level path
Because of [d]my foes.
12 Do not give me over to the [e](AG)desire of my adversaries,
For (AH)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as (AI)breathe out violence.
13 [f]I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the (AJ)goodness of Yahweh
In the (AK)land of the living.
14 (AL)Hope in Yahweh;
Be (AM)strong and let your heart take courage;
Hope in Yahweh.

La Bible du Semeur
En sécurité auprès de Dieu
27 De David.
Oui, l’Eternel est ma lumière ╵et mon Sauveur :
de qui aurais-je crainte ?
L’Eternel est ma forteresse : ╵il protège ma vie ;
de qui aurais-je peur ?
2 Que des méchants ╵s’avancent contre moi,
voulant me nuire,
ce sont mes ennemis, ╵mes oppresseurs,
qui perdent pied et tombent.
3 Qu’une armée vienne m’assiéger,
mon cœur reste sans crainte.
Que l’on me déclare la guerre,
je suis plein d’assurance.
4 J’ai présenté à l’Eternel ╵un seul souhait, ╵mais qui me tient vraiment à cœur :
je voudrais habiter ╵dans la maison de l’Eternel ╵tous les jours de ma vie
afin d’admirer l’Eternel ╵dans sa beauté[a],
et de chercher à le connaître[b] ╵dans sa demeure.
5 Car il me cache sous sa tente ╵dans les jours du malheur.
Au secret de son tabernacle, ╵il me tient abrité ;
sur un rocher, ╵il me met hors d’atteinte.
6 Dès à présent, ╵je peux lever la tête ╵pour dominer ╵mes ennemis autour de moi.
J’offrirai dans son tabernacle ╵des sacrifices ╵avec des cris de joie,
je célébrerai l’Eternel ╵par le chant et les instruments.
7 O Eternel, ╵écoute mon appel ╵car je t’invoque.
Accorde-moi la grâce ╵de me répondre.
8 Du fond de mon cœur, je me dis, ╵de ta part : « Tournez-vous vers moi ! »
Oui, c’est vers toi que je me tourne, ╵ô Eternel,
9 ne te détourne pas de moi
et ne repousse pas ╵ton serviteur avec colère !
Toi qui m’as secouru,
ne me délaisse pas ! ╵Ne m’abandonne pas,
ô Dieu, toi qui es mon Sauveur !
10 Si mon père et ma mère ╵devaient m’abandonner,
l’Eternel me recueillerait.
11 Enseigne-moi la voie ╵que tu veux que je suive, ╵ô Eternel,
et conduis-moi ╵par un sentier égal,
puisque mes ennemis me guettent.
12 Ne m’abandonne pas ╵aux désirs de mes adversaires
lorsque de faux témoins ╵se dressent contre moi,
respirant la violence.
13 Que deviendrais-je ╵si je n’avais pas l’assurance ╵d’expérimenter la bonté ╵de l’Eternel
au pays des vivants ?
14 Attends-toi donc à l’Eternel !
Sois fort ! ╵Affermis ton courage !
Oui, attends-toi à l’Eternel !
Psalm 27
King James Version
27 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.
