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!

English Standard Version
The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
27 The Lord is my (A)light and my (B)salvation;
(C)whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail me
to (D)eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 (E)Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet[b] I will be confident.
4 (F)One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may (G)dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon (H)the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire[c] in his temple.
5 For he will (I)hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will (J)lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my (K)head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of (L)joy;
(M)I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
7 (N)Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8 You have said, (O)“Seek[d] my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, Lord, do I seek.”[e]
9 (P)Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
(Q)O God of my salvation!
10 For (R)my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will (S)take me in.
11 (T)Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on (U)a level path
because of my enemies.
12 (V)Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for (W)false witnesses have risen against me,
and they (X)breathe out violence.
13 I believe that I shall look[f] upon (Y)the goodness of the Lord
in (Z)the land of the living!
14 (AA)Wait for the Lord;
(AB)be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Panalangin ng Pagtitiwala
27 Ang Panginoon ang aking ilaw at Tagapagligtas.
Sino ang aking katatakutan?
Siya ang nagtatanggol sa akin kaya wala akong dapat katakutan.
2 Kapag sinasalakay ako ng masasamang tao o ng aking mga kaaway upang patayin,
sila ang nabubuwal at natatalo!
3 Kahit mapaligiran ako ng maraming kawal,
hindi ako matatakot.
Kahit salakayin nila ako,
magtitiwala ako sa Dios.
4 Isang bagay ang hinihiling ko sa Panginoon, ito ang tanging ninanais ko:
na akoʼy manirahan sa kanyang templo habang akoʼy nabubuhay,
upang mamasdan ang kanyang kadakilaan,
at hilingin sa kanya ang kanyang patnubay.
5 Sa oras ng kagipitan ay itatago niya ako sa kanyang templo,
at ilalagay niya ako sa ligtas na lugar.
6 Kaya mananaig ako sa mga kaaway ko na nakapaligid sa akin.
Maghahandog ako sa templo ng Panginoon habang sumisigaw sa kagalakan,
umaawit at nagpupuri.
7 Dinggin nʼyo Panginoon ang aking pagtawag.
Kahabagan nʼyo ako at sagutin ang aking dalangin.
8 Panginoon, hinipo nʼyo ang aking puso na lumapit sa inyo,
kaya narito ako, lumalapit sa inyo.
9 Huwag nʼyo po akong pagtaguan!
Ako na alipin nʼyo ay huwag nʼyong itakwil dahil sa inyong galit.
Kayo na laging tumutulong sa akin,
huwag nʼyo akong iwanan at pabayaan,
O Dios na aking Tagapagligtas.
10 Iwanan man ako ng aking mga magulang,
kayo naman, Panginoon, ang mag-aalaga sa akin.
11 Ituro nʼyo sa akin ang daang gusto nʼyong lakaran ko.
Patnubayan nʼyo ako sa tamang daan,
dahil sa mga kaaway ko na gusto akong gawan ng masama.
12 Huwag nʼyo akong ibigay sa aking mga kaaway,
dahil akoʼy kanilang pinagbibintangan ng kasinungalingan,
at nais nilang akoʼy saktan.
13 Ngunit naniniwala ako na mararanasan ko ang kabutihan nʼyo, Panginoon,
habang akoʼy nabubuhay dito sa mundo.
14 Magtiwala kayo sa Panginoon!
Magpakatatag kayo at huwag mawalan ng pag-asa.
Magtiwala lamang kayo sa Panginoon!
