Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength 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 the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Bila aku diserang penjahat yang mau membunuh aku, merekalah yang tersandung dan jatuh.
3 Though an host should camp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this 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 desired 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 beauty of the LORD, and to enquire 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 in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set 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 mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; 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 cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Ya TUHAN, dengarlah bila aku berseru kepada-Mu, kasihanilah aku dan jawablah aku!
8 When you said, Seek all of you my face; my heart said unto you, Your face, LORD, will I seek.
Engkau berkata, "Datanglah menyembah Aku." Kujawab, "Aku segera datang, ya TUHAN;
9 Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, 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 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Sekalipun ayah dan ibu meninggalkan aku, Allah akan memelihara aku.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
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 enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
Jangan menyerahkan aku kepada nafsu lawanku, yang menyerang aku dengan dusta dan ancaman.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see 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 of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Berharaplah kepada TUHAN, kuatkanlah dan teguhkanlah hatimu; ya, berharaplah kepada TUHAN!
