Psalms 27

1 [By David.] Jehovah is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Davidov. Jahve mi je svjetlost i spasenje: koga da se bojim? Jahve je štit života moga: pred kime da strepim?

2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

Kad navale na me zlotvori da mi tijelo žderu, protivnici moji i dušmani, oni posrću i padaju.

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.

Nek' se vojska protiv mene utabori, srce se moje ne boji; nek' i rat plane protiv mene, i tada pun sam pouzdanja.

4 One thing I have asked of Jehovah, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to see Jehovah's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

Za jedno molim Jahvu, samo to ja tražim: da živim u Domu Jahvinu sve dane života svoga, da uživam milinu Jahvinu i Dom njegov gledam.

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.

U sjenici svojoj on me zaklanja u dan kobni; skriva me u skrovištu Šatora svoga, na hridinu on me uzdiže.

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 Jehovah.

I sada izdižem glavu iznad dušmana oko sebe. U njegovu ću Šatoru prinositi žrtve radosne, Jahvi ću pjevat' i klicati.

7 Hear, Jehovah, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

Slušaj, o Jahve, glas moga vapaja, milostiv mi budi, usliši me!

8 My heart said of you, "Seek his face." Your face, Jehovah, I will seek.

Moje mi srce govori: “Traži lice njegovo!” Da, lice tvoje, o Jahve, ja tražim.

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.

Ne skrivaj lica svoga od mene. Ne odbij u gnjevu slugu svoga! Ti, Pomoći moja, nemoj me odbaciti! I ne ostavi me, Bože, Spasitelju moj!

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.

Ako me otac i mati ostave, Jahve će me primiti.

11 Teach me your way, Jehovah. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

Nauči me, Jahve, putu svojemu, ravnom me stazom povedi poradi protivnika mojih.

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.

Bijesu dušmana mojih ne predaj me, jer ustadoše na mene svjedoci lažni koji dašću nasiljem.

13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.

14 Wait for Jehovah. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Jehovah.

U Jahvu se uzdaj, ojunači se, čvrsto nek' bude srce tvoje: u Jahvu se uzdaj!
