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?

Pesem Davidova; Gospod je luč moja in blaginja moja, koga bi se bal? Gospod je življenja mojega moč, koga bi se plašil?

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

Vojskujejo se proti meni hudobniki, da pojedó moje meso, sovražniki moji in neprijatelji moji proti meni; oni se zgruzajo in padajo.

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

Ko bi šatorišče stavili proti meni, ne bi se balo srce moje; ko bi se spela vojska zoper mene, bil bi brez skrbi za to.

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 sem prosil Gospoda, tega samo želim: da naj sedevam v hiši Gospodovi vse dnî življenja svojega, da gledam lepoto Gospodovo in preiskujem v svetišči njegovem.

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.

Ker skriva me v koči svoji ob času nadloge; skriva me v skrivnem kraji šatora svojega, dviguje me 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.

Že se spenja glava moja nad sovražnike moje, stoječe okrog mene; da darujem v šatoru njegovem daritve z veselim hrupom, pojem in prepevam Gospodu.

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

Sliši me, Gospod, ko kličem z glasom svojim: in milost mi storí, usliši me.

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

Tvojo besedo: "Iščite obličje moje," premišlja srce moje; obličje tvoje iščem, Gospod.

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 mi obličja svojega, ne obračaj se v jezi od svojega hlapca; pomoč moja si bil, ne zapusti me in ne ostavi blaginje moje.

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

Ker oče moj in mati moja me zapuščata, Gospod pa me sprejme.

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

Uči me, Gospod, svoj pot, in vodi me po ravni stezi zavoljo njih, ki v mé preže.

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

Ne izdajaj me želji sovražnikov mojih; ker zoper mene stojé lažnjive priče, in ki pihajo silovitost;

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

Ko bi ne veroval, da bodem užival dobroto Gospodovo v deželi živečih.

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

Čakaj Gospoda, potolaži se, in pokrepčal bode srce tvoje; torej čakaj Gospoda.
