መዝሙር 27
ከእግዚአብሔር ጋር ያለው ሰው ድፍረት
የዳዊት መዝሙር።
1እግዚአብሔር ብርሃኔና መድኅኔ ነው፤
የሚያስፈራኝ ማን ነው?
እግዚአብሔር ለሕይወቴ ዐምባዋ ነው፤
ማንን እፈራለሁ?
2ሥጋዬን ይበሉ ዘንድ፣27፥2 ወይም ስሜን ሊያጠፉ
ክፉዎች ገፍተው በመጡ ጊዜ፣
ጠላቶቼና ባላጋራዎቼ በተነሡብኝ ጊዜ፣
እነርሱ ተሰነካክለው ወደቁ።
3ሰራዊት ቢከብበኝ እንኳ፣
ልቤ አይፈራም፤
ጦርነት ቢነሣብኝ እንኳ፣
ልበ ሙሉ ነኝ።
4እግዚአብሔርን አንዲት ነገር እለምነዋለሁ፤
እርሷንም እሻለሁ፤
ይኸውም በሕይወቴ ዘመን ሁሉ፣
በእግዚአብሔር ቤት እኖር ዘንድ፣
የእግዚአብሔርን ክብር ውበት አይ ዘንድ፣
በመቅደሱም ሆኜ አሰላስል ዘንድ ነው።
5በመከራ ቀን፣
በድንኳኑ ውስጥ ይሰውረኛልና፤
በድንኳኑም ጓዳ ይሸሽገኛል።
6በዚህ ጊዜ በዙሪያዬ ባሉ ጠላቶቼ ላይ፣
ራሴ ከፍ ከፍ ይላል፤
በድንኳኑም ውስጥ የእልልታ መሥዋዕት እሠዋለሁ፤
ለእግዚአብሔር እቀኛለሁ፤
እዘምርለታለሁም።
7እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ ድምፄን ከፍ አድርጌ ስጮኽ ስማኝ፤
ራራልኝ፤ ስማኝም።
8“ፊቴን ፈልጉ” ባልህ ጊዜ፤27፥8 ወይም ልቤ ሆይ፤ ለአንተ “ፊቴን” አለ
ልቤ፣ እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ ፊትህን እሻለሁ አለች።
9ፊትህን ከእኔ አትሰውር፤
ተቈጥተህ አገልጋይህን አታርቀው፤
መቼም ረዳቴ ነህና።
አዳኝ አምላኬ ሆይ፤
አትጣለኝ፤ አትተወኝም።
10አባቴና እናቴ ቢተዉኝ እንኳ፣
እግዚአብሔር ይቀበለኛል።
11እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ መንገድህን አስተምረኝ፤
ስለ ጠላቶቼም፣
በቀና መንገድ ምራኝ።
12ለጠላቶቼ ፍላጎት አሳልፈህ አትስጠኝ፤
የሐሰት ምስክሮች ተነሥተውብኛልና፣
ዐመፃ የሚረጩ ናቸው።
13የእግዚአብሔርን ቸርነት
በሕያዋን ምድር እንደማይ
ሙሉ እምነቴ ነው።
14እግዚአብሔርን ተስፋ አድርግ፤
አይዞህ፣ በርታ፤
እግዚአብሔርን ተስፋ አድርግ።
A Psalm of David.
1The 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?
2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.27.2 came…: Heb. approached against me
3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4One 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.27.4 the beauty: or, the delight
5For 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.
6And 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.27.6 joy: Heb. shouting
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.27.8 When…: or, My heart said unto thee, Let my face seek thy face, etc
9Hide 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.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.27.10 take…: Heb. gather me
11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.27.11 a plain…: Heb. a way of plainness27.11 mine…: Heb. those which observe me
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
