Salmos 27— comparação

1O SENHOR é a minha luz e a minha salvação.

2Quando os malfeitores vieram contra mim para devorar a minha carne,

3Ainda que um exército acampe contra mim,

4Uma coisa pedi ao SENHOR, e a buscarei:

5Pois no dia da angústia, ele me guardará secretamente em seu pavilhão.

6Agora a minha cabeça será erguida acima dos meus inimigos ao meu redor.

7Ouve, SENHOR, quando clamo com a minha voz.

8Quando disseste: “Busque a minha face”,

9Não escondas de mim a tua face.

10Quando meu pai e minha mãe me abandonarem,

11Ensina-me o teu caminho, SENHOR.

12Não me entregues à vontade dos meus adversários,

13Ainda estou confiante nisto:

14Espere no SENHOR.

1Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

2When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

3Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

4One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

5For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

7Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

8When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

9Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

10When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.

11Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

12Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

14Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
