Psalms 27

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?	1 [Of David] Yahweh is my light and my salvation, whom should I fear? Yahweh is the fortress of my life,whom should I dread?
2 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.	2 When the wicked advance against me to eat me up, they, my opponents, my enemies, are the oneswho stumble and fal .
3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.	3 Though an army pitch camp against me, my heart wil not fear, though war break out against me, mytrust wil never be shaken.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.	4 One thing I ask of Yahweh, one thing I seek: to dwel in Yahweh's house all the days of my life, toenjoy the sweetness of Yahweh, to seek out his temple.
5 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.	5 For he hides me away under his roof on the day of evil, he folds me in the recesses of his tent, setsme high on a rock.
6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.	6 Now my head is held high above the enemies who surround me; in his tent I wil offer sacrifices ofacclaim. I wil sing, I wil make music for Yahweh.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.	7 Yahweh, hear my voice as I cry, pity me, answer me!
8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.	8 Of you my heart has said, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Yahweh, I seek;
9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.	9 do not turn away from me. Do not thrust aside your servant in anger, without you I am helpless. Neverleave me, never forsake me, God, my Saviour.
10 For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.	10 Though my father and mother forsake me, Yahweh wil gather me up.
11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.	11 Yahweh, teach me your way, lead me on the path of integrity because of my enemies;
12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.	12 do not abandon me to the wil of my foes -- false witnesses have risen against me, and are breathingout violence.
13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.	13 This I believe: I shal see the goodness of Yahweh, in the land of the living.
14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.	14 Put your hope in Yahweh, be strong, let your heart be bold, put your hope in Yahweh.
