Psalms 27
1 Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never 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 those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.
Naar onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, saa snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!
3 [Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].
Om en Hær end lejrer sig mod mig, er mit Hjerte uden Frygt; om Krig bryder løs imod mig, dog er jeg tryg.
4 There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].
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 He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).
Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte paa Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op paa en Klippe.
6 Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.
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 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.
HERRE, hør mit Raab, vær naadig og svar mig!
8 I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.
Jeg mindes, du sagde: »Søg mit Aasyn!« Dit Aasyn søger jeg, HERRE;
9 I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].
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 [Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.
Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.
11 Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.
Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;
12 Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.
giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udaander Vold, staar frem imod mig.
13 But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.
Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENS Godhed i de levendes Land —
14 So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
Bi paa HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi paa HERREN!
