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?

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-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they 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 a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.

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

8 In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

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

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.

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 For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.

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

11 Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.

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

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.

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

13 If I had not believed to look upon 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 on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.

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