Psalms 27
1 [By 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?
(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 evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Når onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, så snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!
3 Though an army is deployed against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
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 I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to see the LORD's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
Om eet har jeg bedet HERREN, det attrår jeg: alle mine Dage at bo i HERRENs Hus for at skue HERRENs Livsalighed og grunde i hans Tempel.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte på Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op på en Klippe.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to 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, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
HERRE, hør mit Råb, vær nådig og svar mig!
8 My heart said of you, "Seek his face." Your face, LORD, I will seek.
Jeg mindes, du sagde: "Søg mit Åsyn!" Dit Åsyn søger jeg, HERRE;
9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
skjul ikke dit Åsyn for mig! Bortstød ikke din Tjener i Vrede, du er min Hjælp, opgiv og slip mig ikke, min Frelses Gud!
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.
11 Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;
12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out violence.
giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udånder Vold, står frem imod mig.
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENs Godhed i de levendes Land -
14 Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
Bi på HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi på HERREN!
