Psalms 27
1 David’s. Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in 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 there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies—mine!—they, stumbled and fell!
Når onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, så snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!
3 Though there pitch against me—a camp, my heart shall not fear, —Though there come up against me—a battle, still, am I 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, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, —That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate 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 he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, —He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte på Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op på en Klippe.
6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
HERRE, hør mit Råb, vær nådig og svar mig!
8 To thee, said my heart—[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face—Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
Jeg mindes, du sagde: "Søg mit Åsyn!" Dit Åsyn søger jeg, HERRE;
9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, —My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
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 own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.
11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, —And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;
12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.
giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udånder Vold, står frem imod mig.
13 I believe that I shall see—The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,
Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENs Godhed i de levendes Land -
14 Wait thou for Yahweh, —Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
Bi på HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi på HERREN!
