Psalmi 27

1 Davidov. Jahve mi je svjetlost i spasenje: koga da se bojim? Jahve je štit života moga: pred kime da strepim?

Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?

2 Kad navale na me zlotvori da mi tijelo žderu, protivnici moji i dušmani, oni posrću i padaju.

When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

3 Nek' se vojska protiv mene utabori, srce se moje ne boji; nek' i rat plane protiv mene, i tada pun sam pouzdanja.

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

4 Za jedno molim Jahvu, samo to ja tražim: da živim u Domu Jahvinu sve dane života svoga, da uživam milinu Jahvinu i Dom njegov gledam.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

5 U sjenici svojoj on me zaklanja u dan kobni; skriva me u skrovištu Šatora svoga, na hridinu on me uzdiže.

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

6 I sada izdižem glavu iznad dušmana oko sebe. U njegovu ću Šatoru prinositi žrtve radosne, Jahvi ću pjevat' i klicati.

Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Slušaj, o Jahve, glas moga vapaja, milostiv mi budi, usliši me!

Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

8 Moje mi srce govori: “Traži lice njegovo!” Da, lice tvoje, o Jahve, ja tražim.

My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

9 Ne skrivaj lica svoga od mene. Ne odbij u gnjevu slugu svoga! Ti, Pomoći moja, nemoj me odbaciti! I ne ostavi me, Bože, Spasitelju moj!

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 Ako me otac i mati ostave, Jahve će me primiti.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

11 Nauči me, Jahve, putu svojemu, ravnom me stazom povedi poradi protivnika mojih.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

12 Bijesu dušmana mojih ne predaj me, jer ustadoše na mene svjedoci lažni koji dašću nasiljem.

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

13 Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.

Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 U Jahvu se uzdaj, ojunači se, čvrsto nek' bude srce tvoje: u Jahvu se uzdaj!

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
