Psalms 27

1 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?

Gospod je moja svetloba in rešitev moje duše, koga bi se bal? Gospod je moč mojega življenja; pred kom bom prestrašen?

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

Kadar so prišli nadme zlobni, celó moji sovražniki in moji nasprotniki, da požro moje meso, so se spotaknili in padli.

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

Čeprav bi se zoper mene utaborila vojska, se moje srce ne bo balo. Četudi bi se zoper mene dvignila vojna, bom jaz pri tem zaupljiv.

4 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.

Eno stvar sem želel od Gospoda, to hočem doseči, da bom lahko prebival v Gospodovi hiši vse dni svojega življenja, da zrem Gospodovo lepoto in da poizvedujem v njegovem templju.

5 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.

Kajti v času stiske me bo skril v svojem paviljonu. Skril me bo v skrivnosti svojega šotorskega svetišča, postavil me bo na skalo.

6 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.

Sedaj bo moja glava povzdignjena nad moje sovražnike okoli mene, zato bom v njegovem šotorskem svetišču daroval žrtvovanje radosti; pel bom, da, prepeval bom hvalnice Gospodu.

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

Poslušaj, oh Gospod, ko kličem s svojim glasom. Tudi nad menoj imej usmiljenje in mi odgovori.

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

Ko praviš: »Iščite moje obličje, « ti je moje srce reklo: »Tvoje obličje, Gospod, bom iskal.«

9 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.

Ne skrivaj svojega obličja daleč od mene, svojega služabnika ne odslovi v jezi. Bil si moja pomoč; ne zapusti me niti se me ne odpovej, oh Bog rešitve moje duše.

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

Ko me moj oče in moja mati zapustita, potem me bo Gospod pobral.

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

Úči me svoje poti, oh Gospod in vodi me po ravni stezi, zaradi mojih sovražnikov.

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

Ne izroči me volji mojih sovražnikov, kajti krive priče so vstale zoper mene in takšni, ki izdihujejo krutost.

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

Oslabel sem, razen če sem veroval, da vidim Gospodovo dobroto v deželi živih.

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

Čakaj na Gospoda, bodi odločnega poguma in okrepil bo tvoje srce. Čakaj, pravim, na Gospoda.
