诗篇 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
赞美的祷告
大卫的诗。
27 耶和华是我的光，我的拯救，
我还怕谁？
耶和华是我的堡垒，
我还怕谁？
2 当恶人来吞吃我，
仇敌来攻击我时，
必失足跌倒。
3 虽然大军围攻我，
我心中却一无所惧；
虽然战争来临，我仍满怀信心。
4 我曾向耶和华求一件事，
我还要求，就是能一生住在祂的殿中，
瞻仰祂的荣美，寻求祂的旨意。
5 危难之时，祂保护我，
把我藏在祂的圣幕里，
高高地安置在磐石上。
6 我要昂首面对四围的敌人，
我要在祂的圣幕里欢呼献祭，
歌颂赞美祂。
7 耶和华啊，求你垂听我的呼求，
求你恩待我，应允我。
8 你说：“来寻求我！”
我心中响应：
“耶和华啊，我要寻求你。”
9 别掩面不理我，
别愤然拒绝你的仆人，
你一向是我的帮助。
拯救我的上帝啊，
别离开我，别撇弃我。
10 纵使父母离弃我，
耶和华也必收留我。
11 耶和华啊，
求你指教我行你的道，
引导我走正路，远离仇敌。
12 求你不要让仇敌抓到我，
遂其所愿，
因为他们诬告我，恐吓我。
13 我深信今世必能看见耶和华的美善。
14 要等候耶和华，
要坚定不移地等候耶和华。
Psalm 27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 27[a]
Trust in God
1 (A)Of David.
A
I
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
2 When evildoers come at me
to devour my flesh,[b](B)
These my enemies and foes
themselves stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart does not fear;
Though war be waged against me,
even then do I trust.
II
4 One thing I ask of the Lord;
this I seek:
To dwell in the Lord’s house
all the days of my life,
To gaze on the Lord’s beauty,
to visit his temple.(C)
5 For God will hide me in his shelter
in time of trouble,(D)
He will conceal me in the cover of his tent;
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Even now my head is held high
above my enemies on every side!
I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.
B
I
7 Hear my voice, Lord, when I call;
have mercy on me and answer me.
8 “Come,” says my heart, “seek his face”;[c]
your face, Lord, do I seek!(E)
9 Do not hide your face from me;
do not repel your servant in anger.
You are my salvation; do not cast me off;
do not forsake me, God my savior!
10 Even if my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me in.(F)
II
11 Lord, show me your way;
lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.(G)
12 Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes;
malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
13 I believe I shall see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living.[d](H)
14 Wait for the Lord, take courage;
be stouthearted, wait for the Lord!
Footnotes
- Psalm 27 Tradition has handed down the two sections of the Psalm (Ps 27:1–6; 7–14) as one Psalm, though each part could be understood as complete in itself. Asserting boundless hope that God will bring rescue (Ps 27:1–3), the psalmist longs for the presence of God in the Temple, protection from all enemies (Ps 27:4–6). In part B there is a clear shift in tone (Ps 27:7–12); the climax of the poem comes with “I believe” (Ps 27:13), echoing “I trust” (Ps 27:3).
- 27:2 To devour my flesh: the psalmist’s enemies are rapacious beasts (Ps 7:3; 17:12; 22:14, 17).
- 27:8 Seek his face: to commune with God in the Temple. The idiom is derived from the practice of journeying to sacred places, cf. Hos 5:15; 2 Sm 21:1; Ps 24:6.
- 27:13 In the land of the living: or “in the land of life,” an epithet of the Jerusalem Temple (Ps 52:7; 116:9; Is 38:11), where the faithful had access to the life-giving presence of God.
