Psalms 27
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Mazmur Daud. TUHAN adalah cahayaku dan keselamatanku, tak ada yang kutakuti. TUHAN adalah benteng perlindunganku, aku tak akan gentar.
2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Bila aku diserang penjahat yang mau membunuh aku, merekalah yang tersandung dan jatuh.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.
Sekalipun aku dikepung pasukan yang besar, aku tak akan takut. Sekalipun pecah perang melawan aku, aku tetap berharap.
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.
Hanya satu yang kuminta kepada TUHAN, hanya inilah yang kuingini: diam di Rumah TUHAN seumur hidupku, untuk merasakan kebaikan TUHAN dan mohon bimbingan-Nya.
5 For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.
TUHAN melindungi aku di waktu kesesakan; Ia menyembunyikan aku di dalam Rumah-Nya, dan mengangkat aku ke atas gunung batu.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Sekarang aku menang atas musuh di sekelilingku; maka dengan sorak gembira kupersembahkan kurban syukur di Rumah-Nya; aku mau menyanyi dan memuji TUHAN.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
Ya TUHAN, dengarlah bila aku berseru kepada-Mu, kasihanilah aku dan jawablah aku!
8 In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Engkau berkata, "Datanglah menyembah Aku." Kujawab, "Aku segera datang, ya TUHAN;
9 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
janganlah bersembunyi daripadaku." Janganlah marah dan menolak hamba-Mu, sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku. Janganlah membuang atau meninggalkan aku, ya Allah, penyelamatku.
10 For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.
Sekalipun ayah dan ibu meninggalkan aku, Allah akan memelihara aku.
11 Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.
Tunjukkanlah aku kehendak-Mu, ya TUHAN, bimbinglah aku di jalan yang lurus, sebab musuhku amat banyak.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
Jangan menyerahkan aku kepada nafsu lawanku, yang menyerang aku dengan dusta dan ancaman.
13 If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! —
Aku yakin akan mengalami kebaikan TUHAN dalam hidupku di dunia ini.
14 Wait on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.
Berharaplah kepada TUHAN, kuatkanlah dan teguhkanlah hatimu; ya, berharaplah kepada TUHAN!
