1Di Davide. Il Signore è la mia luce e la mia salvezza; di chi temerò? Il Signore è il baluardo della mia vita; di chi avrò paura?2Quando i malvagi, che mi sono avversari e nemici, mi hanno assalito per divorarmi, essi stessi hanno vacillato e sono caduti.3Se un esercito si accampasse contro di me, il mio cuore non avrebbe paura; se infuriasse la battaglia contro di me, anche allora sarei fiducioso.4Una cosa ho chiesto al Signore, e quella ricerco: abitare nella casa del Signore tutti i giorni della mia vita, per contemplare la bellezza del Signore e meditare nel suo tempio.5Poiché egli mi nasconderà nella sua tenda in giorno di sventura, mi custodirà nel luogo più segreto della sua dimora, mi porterà in alto sopra una roccia.6E ora la mia testa s’innalza sui miei nemici che mi circondano. Offrirò nella sua dimora sacrifici con gioia; canterò e salmeggerò al Signore.7O Signore, ascolta la mia voce quando t’invoco; abbi pietà di me, e rispondimi.8Il mio cuore mi dice da parte tua: «Cercate il mio volto!» Io cerco il tuo volto, o Signore.9Non nascondermi il tuo volto, non respingere con ira il tuo servo; tu sei stato il mio aiuto; non lasciarmi e non abbandonarmi, o Dio della mia salvezza!10Qualora mio padre e mia madre m’abbandonino, il Signore mi accoglierà.11O Signore, insegnami la tua via, guidami per un sentiero diritto, a causa dei miei nemici.12Non darmi in balìa dei miei nemici; perché sono sorti contro di me falsi testimoni, gente che respira violenza.13Ah, se non avessi avuto fede di vedere la bontà del Signore sulla terra dei viventi!14Spera nel Signore! Sii forte, il tuo cuore si rinfranchi; sì, spera nel Signore!
1Von David. Der HERR ist mein Licht und mein Heil[1], vor wem sollte ich mich fürchten? Der HERR ist meines Lebens Zuflucht[2], vor wem sollte ich erschrecken? (Sal 18,29; Sal 118,6; Is 12,2; Mi 7,8; Giov 8,12; Eb 13,6)2Wenn Übeltäter mir nahen, mein Fleisch zu fressen, meine Bedränger und meine Feinde – sie straucheln und fallen. (Giov 18,6)3Wenn sich ein Heer gegen mich lagert, fürchtet sich mein Herz nicht; wenn sich auch Krieg gegen mich erhebt, trotzdem bin ich vertrauensvoll. (Sal 3,7; Sal 112,7)4Eins habe ich vom HERRN erbeten, danach trachte ich: zu wohnen im Haus des HERRN alle Tage meines Lebens, um anzuschauen die Freundlichkeit des HERRN und nachzudenken[3] in seinem Tempel. (Sal 23,6)5Denn er wird mich bergen in seiner[4] Hütte am Tag des Unheils, er wird mich verbergen im Versteck seines Zeltes; auf einen Felsen wird er mich heben. (Sal 31,21; Sal 32,7; Sal 40,3; Sal 61,3)6Und nun wird mein Haupt sich erheben über meine Feinde rings um mich her. Opfer voller Jubel will ich opfern in seinem Zelt, ich will singen und spielen dem HERRN. (Sal 3,4; Sal 57,8; Sal 59,18; Sal 107,22; Sal 119,108; Eb 13,15)7Höre, HERR, mit meiner Stimme rufe ich: sei mir gnädig und erhöre mich! (Sal 30,11; Sal 31,10)8Mein Herz erinnert dich[5]: »Sucht mein Angesicht!« – Dein Angesicht, HERR, suche ich. (Sal 24,6; Sal 105,4)9Verbirg dein Angesicht nicht vor mir, weise deinen Knecht nicht ab im Zorn! Du bist meine Hilfe gewesen. Gib mich nicht auf und verlass mich nicht, Gott meines Heils[6]! (Sal 69,18; Sal 102,3)10Sogar mein Vater und meine Mutter haben mich verlassen, aber der HERR nimmt mich auf.11Lehre mich, HERR, deinen Weg, und leite mich auf ebenem Pfad wegen meiner Feinde! (Sal 5,9; Sal 25,4; Sal 139,24; Sal 143,8)12Gib mich nicht preis der Gier meiner Bedränger, denn falsche Zeugen sind gegen mich aufgestanden und der, der Gewalttat schnaubt. (Sal 35,11; Mat 26,60)13Ach, wenn ich mir nicht sicher wäre, das Gute des HERRN zu schauen im Land der Lebendigen …! (Sal 116,9; Sal 142,6)14Harre auf den HERRN! Sei stark, und dein Herz erweise sich als mutig, und harre auf den HERRN! (Sal 31,25; Sal 37,7; 2Ti 2,1)
1Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold[1] of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Eso 15,2; Sal 23,4; Sal 84,11; Sal 118,14; Is 12,2; Is 60,20; Is 62,11; Mi 7,8)2When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. (Sal 14,4)3Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet[2] I will be confident. (Sal 3,6)4One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire[3] in his temple. (Sal 23,6; Sal 26,8; Sal 65,4; Sal 84,1; Sal 90,17; Lu 2,37)5For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. (Giob 5,21; Sal 31,20; Sal 40,2; Sal 91,1; Is 4,6)6And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord. (Nu 10,10; Sal 3,3; Ef 5,19; Col 3,16)7Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! (Sal 30,10)8You have said, “Seek[4] my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”[5] (Sal 24,6; Sal 105,4)9Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation! (Sal 24,5; Sal 69,17; Sal 102,2; Sal 143,7)10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in. (Is 40,11; Is 49,15; Is 63,16)11Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. (Sal 5,8; Sal 25,4)12Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. (1Re 21,13; Sal 35,11; Sal 41,2; Mat 26,59; Mar 14,55; At 9,1)13I believe that I shall look[6] upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! (Eso 33,19; Giob 28,13; Sal 52,5; Sal 116,9; Sal 142,5)14Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! (De 31,7; Gios 1,6; Gios 1,9; Gios 1,18; Sal 31,24; Sal 37,34; Sal 62,5; Prov 20,22)
Salmo 27
King James Version
1A Psalm of David. 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?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.
