Salme 27
1 (Af David.) HERREN er mit Lys og min Frelse, hvem skal jeg frygte? HERREN er Værn for mit Liv, for hvem skal jeg ræddes?
Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.
2 Når onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, så snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!
When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.
3 Om en Hær end lejrer sig mod mig, er mit Hjerte uden Frygt; om Krig bryder løs imod mig, dog er jeg tryg.
[Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].
4 Om eet har jeg bedet HERREN, det attrår jeg: alle mine Dage at bo i HERRENs Hus for at skue HERRENs Livsalighed og grunde i hans Tempel.
There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].
5 Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte på Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op på en Klippe.
He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).
6 Derfor løfter mit Hoved sig over mine Fjender omkring mig. I hans Telt vil jeg ofre Jubelofre, med Sang og med Spil vil jeg prise HERREN.
Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.
7 HERRE, hør mit Råb, vær nådig og svar mig!
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.
8 Jeg mindes, du sagde: "Søg mit Åsyn!" Dit Åsyn søger jeg, HERRE;
I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.
9 skjul ikke dit Åsyn for mig! Bortstød ikke din Tjener i Vrede, du er min Hjælp, opgiv og slip mig ikke, min Frelses Gud!
I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].
10 Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.
[Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.
11 Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;
Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.
12 giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udånder Vold, står frem imod mig.
Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.
13 Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENs Godhed i de levendes Land -
But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.
14 Bi på HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi på HERREN!
So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
