King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 27:1 | 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? | By David. Jehovah `is' my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah `is' the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid? |
| 27:2 | When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, |
When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen. |
| 27:3 | Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. | Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I `am' confident. |
| 27:4 | 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 |
One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple. |
| 27:5 | 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. | For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up. |
| 27:6 | And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices |
And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah. |
| 27:7 | Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. | Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me. |
| 27:8 | When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. | To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.' |
| 27:9 | 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. | Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. |
| 27:10 | When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD |
When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me. |
| 27:11 | Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in |
Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders. |
| 27:12 | Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. | Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me. |
| 27:13 | I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. | I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living! |
| 27:14 | Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. | Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah! |
