Psalm 27
New International Version
Psalm 27
Of David.
1 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)
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.(E)
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;(F)
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.(G)
4 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.
5 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)
6 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.
7 Hear my voice(T) when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.(U)
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!(V)”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 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.

Psalm 27
New King James Version
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?
2 When the wicked came against me
To (C)eat[a] up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 (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.
4 (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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 (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!

Psaumes 27
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 !
