Psalms 27

1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread?

1 اَلرَّبُّ نُورِي وَخَلَاصِي، مِمَّنْ أَخَافُ؟ ٱلرَّبُّ حِصْنُ حَيَاتِي، مِمَّنْ أَرْتَعِبُ؟

2 When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

2 عِنْدَ مَا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَيَّ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ لِيَأْكُلُوا لَحْمِي، مُضَايِقِيَّ وَأَعْدَائِي عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا.

3 Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

3 إِنْ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ جَيْشٌ لَا يَخَافُ قَلْبِي. إِنْ قَامَتْ عَلَيَّ حَرْبٌ فَفِي ذَلِكَ أَنَا مُطْمَئِنٌّ.

4 One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

4 وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَإِيَّاهَا أَلْتَمِسُ: أَنْ أَسْكُنَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي، لِكَيْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى جَمَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَتَفَرَّسَ فِي هَيْكَلِهِ.

5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

5 لِأَنَّهُ يُخَبِّئُنِي فِي مَظَلَّتِهِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ. يَسْتُرُنِي بِسِتْرِ خَيْمَتِهِ. عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ يَرْفَعُنِي.

6 Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

6 وَٱلْآنَ يَرْتَفِعُ رَأْسِي عَلَى أَعْدَائِي حَوْلِي، فَأَذْبَحُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْهُتَافِ. أُغَنِّي وَأُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ.

7 Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

7 اِسْتَمِعْ يَارَبُّ. بِصَوْتِي أَدْعُو فَٱرْحَمْنِي وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي.

8 My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

8 لَكَ قَالَ قَلْبِي: «قُلْتَ: ٱطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي». وَجْهَكَ يَارَبُّ أَطْلُبُ.

9 Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

9 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي. لَا تُخَيِّبْ بِسُخْطٍ عَبْدَكَ. قَدْ كُنْتَ عَوْنِي فَلَا تَرْفُضْنِي وَلَا تَتْرُكْنِي يَا إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي.

10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

10 إِنَّ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَدْ تَرَكَانِي وَٱلرَّبُّ يَضُمُّنِي.

11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

11 عَلِّمْنِي يَارَبُّ طَرِيقَكَ، وَٱهْدِنِي فِي سَبِيلٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي.

12 Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

12 لَا تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَرَامِ مُضَايِقِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ وَنَافِثُ ظُلْمٍ.

13 Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

13 لَوْلَا أَنَّنِي آمَنْتُ بِأَنْ أَرَى جُودَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ.

14 Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

14 ٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ. لِيَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْيَتَشَجَّعْ قَلْبُكَ، وَٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ.
