Psalmi 27

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

A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?

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

When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they 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 hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.

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 haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite 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 time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.

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

And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.

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

Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.

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

When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.

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 therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.

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

Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.

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

Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.

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

Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.

13 Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.

I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.

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

Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
