赞美的祷告
大卫的诗。
27:1 耶和华是我的亮光，是我的拯救！
我还怕谁呢？耶和华是我性命的保障（注：或作“力量”）！
我还惧谁呢？
27:2 那作恶的，就是我的仇敌，
前来吃我肉的时候，就绊跌仆倒。
27:3 虽有军兵安营攻击我，我的心也不害怕；
虽然兴起刀兵攻击我，我必仍旧安稳。
27:4 有一件事，我曾求耶和华，我仍要寻求：
就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中，
瞻仰他的荣美，在他的殿里求问。
27:5 因为我遭遇患难，他必暗暗地保守我；
在他亭子里，把我藏在他帐幕的隐密处，
将我高举在磐石上。
27:6 现在我得以昂首，高过四面的仇敌；
我要在他的帐幕里欢然献祭，
我要唱歌颂耶和华！
27:7 耶和华啊，我用声音呼吁的时候，求你垂听；
并求你怜恤我，应允我。
27:8 你说：“你们当寻求我的面。”
那时我心向你说：“耶和华啊，
你的面我正要寻求。”
27:9 不要向我掩面。
不要发怒赶逐仆人，
你向来是帮助我的。
救我的 神啊，不要丢掉我，
也不要离弃我。
27:10 我父母离弃我，
耶和华必收留我。
27:11 耶和华啊，求你将你的道指教我，
因我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。
27:12 求你不要把我交给敌人，遂其所愿；
因为妄作见证的和口吐凶言的，起来攻击我。
27:13 我若不信在活人之地得见耶和华的恩惠，
就早已丧胆了。
27:14 要等候耶和华！
当壮胆，坚固你的心。我再说，
要等候耶和华！
PSALM 27
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 evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.
3Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
4One thing I ask of the Lord , this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon 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 tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.
6Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord .
7Hear my voice when I call, O 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, O God my Savior.
10Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.
11Teach me your way, O 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, breathing out violence.
13I am still 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 .
