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.
Dari Daud. TUHAN adalah terangku dan keselamatanku, kepada siapakah aku harus takut? TUHAN adalah benteng hidupku, terhadap siapakah aku harus gemetar?
2 When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.
Ketika penjahat-penjahat menyerang aku untuk memakan dagingku, yakni semua lawanku dan musuhku, mereka sendirilah yang tergelincir dan jatuh.
3 [Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].
Sekalipun tentara berkemah mengepung aku, tidak takut hatiku; sekalipun timbul peperangan melawan aku, dalam hal itupun aku tetap percaya.
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].
Satu hal telah kuminta kepada TUHAN, itulah yang kuingini: diam di rumah TUHAN seumur hidupku, menyaksikan kemurahan TUHAN dan menikmati bait-Nya.
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).
Sebab Ia melindungi aku dalam pondok-Nya pada waktu bahaya; Ia menyembunyikan aku dalam persembunyian di kemah-Nya, Ia mengangkat aku ke atas gunung batu.
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.
Maka sekarang tegaklah kepalaku, mengatasi musuhku sekeliling aku; dalam kemah-Nya aku mau mempersembahkan korban dengan sorak-sorai; aku mau menyanyi dan bermazmur bagi TUHAN.
7 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.
Dengarlah, TUHAN, seruan yang kusampaikan, kasihanilah aku dan jawablah aku!
8 I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.
Hatiku mengikuti firman-Mu: "Carilah wajah-Ku"; maka wajah-Mu kucari, ya TUHAN.
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].
Janganlah menyembunyikan wajah-Mu kepadaku, janganlah menolak hamba-Mu ini dengan murka; Engkaulah pertolonganku, janganlah membuang aku dan janganlah meninggalkan aku, ya Allah penyelamatku!
10 [Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.
Sekalipun ayahku dan ibuku meninggalkan aku, namun TUHAN menyambut aku.
11 Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.
Tunjukkanlah jalan-Mu kepadaku, ya TUHAN, dan tuntunlah aku di jalan yang rata oleh sebab seteruku.
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.
Janganlah menyerahkan aku kepada nafsu lawanku, sebab telah bangkit menyerang aku saksi-saksi dusta, dan orang-orang yang bernafaskan kelaliman.
13 But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.
Sesungguhnya, aku percaya akan melihat kebaikan TUHAN di negeri orang-orang yang hidup!
14 So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
Nantikanlah TUHAN! Kuatkanlah dan teguhkanlah hatimu! Ya, nantikanlah TUHAN!
