第 27 篇
讚美的禱告
大衛的詩。
1耶和華是我的光，我的拯救，
我還怕誰？
耶和華是我的堡壘，
我還怕誰？
2當惡人來吞吃我，
仇敵來攻擊我時，
必失足跌倒。
3雖然大軍圍攻我，
我心中卻一無所懼；
雖然戰爭來臨，我仍滿懷信心。
4我曾向耶和華求一件事，
我還要求，就是能一生住在祂的殿中，
瞻仰祂的榮美，尋求祂的旨意。
5危難之時，祂保護我，
把我藏在祂的聖幕裡，
高高地安置在磐石上。
6我要昂首面對四圍的敵人，
我要在祂的聖幕裡歡呼獻祭，
歌頌讚美祂。
7耶和華啊，求你垂聽我的呼求，
求你恩待我，應允我。
8你說：「來尋求我！」
我心中回應：
「耶和華啊，我要尋求你。」
9別掩面不理我，
別憤然拒絕你的僕人，
你一向是我的幫助。
拯救我的上帝啊，
別離開我，別撇棄我。
10縱使父母離棄我，
耶和華也必收留我。
11耶和華啊，
求你指教我行你的道，
引導我走正路，遠離仇敵。
12求你不要讓仇敵抓到我，
遂其所願，
因為他們誣告我，恐嚇我。
13我深信今世必能看見耶和華的美善。
14要等候耶和華，
要堅定不移地等候耶和華。
Psalm 27
Of David.
1The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2When the wicked advance against me
to devour27:2 Or slander me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4One thing 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,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
