Psalms 27
1 A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
(Af David.) HERREN er mit Lys og min Frelse, hvem skal jeg frygte? HERREN er Værn for mit Liv, for hvem skal jeg ræddes?
2 When evil people come at me to tear me apart, it's my enemies, those who are against me, they're the ones who trip and fall.
Når onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, så snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!
3 Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.
Om en Hær end lejrer sig mod mig, er mit Hjerte uden Frygt; om Krig bryder løs imod mig, dog er jeg tryg.
4 I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about his Temple.
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.
5 When troubles come he will protect me and keep me safe, hiding me in his house, as secure as if he'd placed me on a high rock.
Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte på Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op på en Klippe.
6 He will hold my head high over my enemies who are all around me. I shall offer sacrifices in his house with shouts of joy, and I will sing praises to the Lord.
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.
7 Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.
HERRE, hør mit Råb, vær nådig og svar mig!
8 You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.
Jeg mindes, du sagde: "Søg mit Åsyn!" Dit Åsyn søger jeg, HERRE;
9 Don't refuse to talk to me. Don't be angry with your servant and turn away. You are the one who helps me, so please don't reject me and abandon me, God of my salvation.
skjul ikke dit Åsyn for mig! Bortstød ikke din Tjener i Vrede, du er min Hjælp, opgiv og slip mig ikke, min Frelses Gud!
10 Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.
Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.
11 Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—
Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;
12 don't hand me over to them and their evil intentions, for they are making false accusations against me and threatening me with violence.
giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udånder Vold, står frem imod mig.
13 However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.
Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENs Godhed i de levendes Land -
14 Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!
Bi på HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi på HERREN!
