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?

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

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.

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

3 Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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 Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.

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

8 You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.

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

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.

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 Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.

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

11 Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—

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

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.

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

13 However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.

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

14 Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!

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