诗篇 27
27:1 耶和华是我的亮光，是我的拯救！
我还怕谁呢？耶和华是我性命的保障（注：或作“力量”）！
我还惧谁呢？
27:2 那作恶的，就是我的仇敌，
前来吃我肉的时候，就绊跌仆倒。
27:3 虽有军兵安营攻击我，我的心也不害怕；
虽然兴起刀兵攻击我，我必仍旧安稳。
27:4 有一件事，我曾求耶和华，我仍要寻求：
就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中，
瞻仰他的荣美，在他的殿里求问。
27:5 因为我遭遇患难，他必暗暗地保守我；
在他亭子里，把我藏在他帐幕的隐密处，
将我高举在磐石上。
27:6 现在我得以昂首，高过四面的仇敌；
我要在他的帐幕里欢然献祭，
我要唱歌颂耶和华！
27:7 耶和华啊，我用声音呼吁的时候，求你垂听；
并求你怜恤我，应允我。
27:8 你说：“你们当寻求我的面。”
那时我心向你说：“耶和华啊，
你的面我正要寻求。”
27:9 不要向我掩面。
不要发怒赶逐仆人，
你向来是帮助我的。
救我的 神啊，不要丢掉我，
也不要离弃我。
27:10 我父母离弃我，
耶和华必收留我。
27:11 耶和华啊，求你将你的道指教我，
因我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。
27:12 求你不要把我交给敌人，遂其所愿；
因为妄作见证的和口吐凶言的，起来攻击我。
27:13 我若不信在活人之地得见耶和华的恩惠，
就早已丧胆了。
27:14 要等候耶和华！
当壮胆，坚固你的心。我再说，
要等候耶和华！
约翰福音 8:12
耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光。跟从我的，就不在黑暗里走，必要得著生命的光。”
Psalm 27 (ESV)
1The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail me
to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet[b] I will be confident.
4 One 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[c] in his temple.
5 For 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.
6 And 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.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8 You have said, “Seek[d] my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, Lord, do I seek.”[e]
9 Hide 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!
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will take me in.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13 I believe that I shall look[f] upon the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
John 8:12 (ESV)
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Prayer
The light of God surrounds me;
The love of God enfolds me;
The power of God protects me;
The presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is.
