Salmos 27
Bible in Basic English
1The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?
2When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.
3Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.
4One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.
5For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.
6And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.
7O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.
8When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
9Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
11Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.
12Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.
13I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.
14Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ es mi luz y mi salvación: ¿de quién temeré? Jehová es la fortaleza de mi vida: ¿de quién he de atemorizarme?
2Cuando se allegaron contra mí los malignos, mis angustiadores y mis enemigos, para comer mis carnes, ellos tropezaron y cayeron.
3Aunque se asiente campo contra mí, no temerá mi corazón: aunque contra mí se levante guerra, yo en esto confío.
4Una cosa he demandado á Jehová, ésta buscaré: que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida, para contemplar la hermosura de Jehová, y para inquirir en su templo.
5Porque él me esconderá en su tabernáculo en el día del mal; ocultaráme en lo reservado de su pabellón; pondráme en alto sobre una roca.
6Y luego ensalzará mi cabeza sobre mis enemigos en derredor de mí: y yo sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo: cantaré y salmearé á Jehová.
7Oye, oh Jehová, mi voz con que á ti clamo; y ten misericordia de mí, respóndeme.
8Mi corazón ha dicho de ti: Buscad mi rostro. Tu rostro buscaré, oh Jehová.
9No escondas tu rostro de mí, no apartes con ira á tu siervo: mi ayuda has sido; no me dejes y no me desampares, Dios de mi salud.
10Aunque mi padre y mi madre me dejaran, Jehová con todo me recogerá.
11Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino, y guíame por senda de rectitud, á causa de mis enemigos.
12No me entregues á la voluntad de mis enemigos; porque se han levantado contra mí testigos falsos, y los que respiran crueldad.
13Hubiera yo desmayado, si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová en la tierra de los vivientes.
14Aguarda á Jehová; esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón: sí, espera á Jehová.
King James Version
1The 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?
2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4One 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 the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5For 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.
6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9Hide 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.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
World English Bible
1The 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?
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 the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’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 the LORD.
7Hear, LORD, 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, LORD.”
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 the LORD will take me up.
11Teach me your way, LORD. 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 the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
