Psalmi 27

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

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

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

When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, 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 a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.

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 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 behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early 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 He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.

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

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

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

Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.

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

In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I 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 Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

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

For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.

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

Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.

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

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

13 Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.

If I had not believed to look upon 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 on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.
