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?
Mazmur Daud. TUHAN adalah cahayaku dan keselamatanku, tak ada yang kutakuti. TUHAN adalah benteng perlindunganku, aku tak akan gentar.
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Bila aku diserang penjahat yang mau membunuh aku, merekalah yang tersandung dan jatuh.
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.
Sekalipun aku dikepung pasukan yang besar, aku tak akan takut. Sekalipun pecah perang melawan aku, aku tetap berharap.
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.
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 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.
TUHAN melindungi aku di waktu kesesakan; Ia menyembunyikan aku di dalam Rumah-Nya, dan mengangkat aku ke atas gunung batu.
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.
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, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
Ya TUHAN, dengarlah bila aku berseru kepada-Mu, kasihanilah aku dan jawablah aku!
8 My heart said of you, "Seek his face." Your face, LORD, I will seek.
Engkau berkata, "Datanglah menyembah Aku." Kujawab, "Aku segera datang, ya TUHAN;
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.
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, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
Tunjukkanlah aku kehendak-Mu, ya TUHAN, bimbinglah aku di jalan yang lurus, sebab musuhku amat banyak.
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.
Jangan menyerahkan aku kepada nafsu lawanku, yang menyerang aku dengan dusta dan ancaman.
13 I am still confident of this: I will 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 for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
Berharaplah kepada TUHAN, kuatkanlah dan teguhkanlah hatimu; ya, berharaplah kepada TUHAN!
