Salmos 27
La Biblia de las Américas
Confianza absoluta en Dios
Salmo de David.
27 El Señor es mi luz(A) y mi salvación(B);
¿a quién temeré?
El Señor es la fortaleza[a] de mi vida(C);
¿de quién tendré temor(D)?
2 Cuando los malhechores vinieron sobre mí para devorar mis carnes(E),
ellos, mis adversarios y mis enemigos, tropezaron y cayeron(F).
3 Aunque un ejército acampe contra mí(G),
no temerá mi corazón;
aunque en mi contra se levante guerra,
a pesar de ello, estaré confiado[b](H).
4 Una cosa he pedido al Señor, y esa buscaré:
que habite yo en la casa del Señor todos los días de mi vida(I),
para contemplar la hermosura[c] del Señor(J),
y para meditar[d] en su templo(K).
5 Porque en el día de la angustia(L) me esconderá en su tabernáculo[e](M);
en lo secreto de su tienda me ocultará(N);
sobre una roca me pondrá en alto(O).
6 Entonces[f] será levantada mi cabeza(P) sobre mis enemigos que me cercan;
y en su tienda ofreceré sacrificios con[g] voces de júbilo(Q);
cantaré, sí, cantaré alabanzas al Señor(R).
7 Escucha, oh Señor, mi voz cuando clamo(S);
ten piedad de mí, y respóndeme(T).
8 Cuando dijiste: Buscad mi rostro(U), mi corazón te respondió:
Tu rostro, Señor, buscaré(V).
9 No escondas tu rostro de mí(W);
no rechaces con ira a tu siervo(X);
tú has sido mi ayuda(Y).
No me abandones(Z) ni me desampares(AA),
oh Dios de mi salvación.
10 Porque aunque mi padre y mi madre me hayan abandonado[h](AB),
el Señor me recogerá(AC).
11 Señor, enséñame tu camino(AD),
y guíame por senda llana
por causa de mis enemigos[i](AE).
12 No me entregues a la voluntad[j] de mis adversarios(AF);
porque testigos falsos se han levantado contra mí(AG),
y los que respiran violencia(AH).
13 Hubiera yo desmayado, si no hubiera creído que había de ver la bondad del Señor(AI)
en la tierra de los vivientes(AJ).
14 Espera al Señor(AK);
esfuérzate y aliéntese tu corazón(AL).
Sí, espera al Señor.

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.
Psalm 27
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!
