Psalms 27
1 “Of David.” The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread?
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-doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.
Naar onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, saa snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!
3 If an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war should arise against me, even then will I have trust.
Om en Hær end lejrer sig mod mig, er mit Hjerte uden Frygt; om Krig bryder løs imod mig, dog er jeg tryg.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
Om eet har jeg bedet HERREN, det attraar jeg: alle mine Dage at bo i HERRENS Hus for at skue HERRENS Livsalighed og grunde i hans Tempel.
5 For he will hide me in his pavilion on the day of evil; he will conceal me in the secret of his tabernacle; upon a rock will he place me high.
Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte paa Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op paa en Klippe.
6 And now will my head be lifted up above my enemies all round about me; and I will sacrifice in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing, and I will triumphantly play unto 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 Hear, O Lord, my voice, [when] I call, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
HERRE, hør mit Raab, vær naadig og svar mig!
8 Of thee, said my heart, “Seek ye my presence”: thy presence, Lord, will I seek.
Jeg mindes, du sagde: »Søg mit Aasyn!« Dit Aasyn søger jeg, HERRE;
9 Hide [then] not thy face from me; reject not in anger thy servant, thou [who] hast been my help: cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
skjul ikke dit Aasyn for mig! Bortstød ikke din Tjener i Vrede, du er min Hjælp, opgiv og slip mig ikke, min Frelses Gud!
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; but the Lord will take me up.
Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.
11 Point me out thy way, O Lord! and guide me on a level path, because of those that regard me enviously.
Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;
12 Give me not up to the [revengeful] desire of my assailants; for there are risen up against me false witnesses, and such as utter violence.
giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udaander Vold, staar frem imod mig.
13 Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of life—
Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENS Godhed i de levendes Land —
14 Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let thy heart be of good courage; and only wait on the Lord.
Bi paa HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi paa HERREN!
