Psalms 27
1 A psalm of David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? Yahweh is my life's refuge; whom should I dread?
Davidov. Jahve mi je svjetlost i spasenje: koga da se bojim? Jahve je štit života moga: pred kime da strepim?
2 When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies stumbled and fell.
Kad navale na me zlotvori da mi tijelo žderu, protivnici moji i dušmani, oni posrću i padaju.
3 Though an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear; though war rises up against me, even then I will remain 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 have I asked of Yahweh, and I will seek that: that I may live in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see the beauty of Yahweh and to meditate 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 hide me in his shelter; in the cover of his tent he will conceal me. He will lift me high on a rock!
U sjenici svojoj on me zaklanja u dan kobni; skriva me u skrovištu Šatora svoga, na hridinu on me uzdiže.
6 Then my head will be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent! I will sing and make songs to Yahweh!
I sada izdižem glavu iznad dušmana oko sebe. U njegovu ću Šatoru prinositi žrtve radosne, Jahvi ću pjevat' i klicati.
7 Hear, Yahweh, my voice when I cry out! Have mercy on me, and answer me!
Slušaj, o Jahve, glas moga vapaja, milostiv mi budi, usliši me!
8 My heart says about you, “Seek his face!” I seek your face, Yahweh!
Moje mi srce govori: “Traži lice njegovo!” Da, lice tvoje, o Jahve, ja tražim.
9 Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger! You have been my helper; do not forsake me or abandon 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 Even if my father and my mother forsake me, Yahweh will take me in.
Ako me otac i mati ostave, Jahve će me primiti.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh! Lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Nauči me, Jahve, putu svojemu, ravnom me stazom povedi poradi protivnika mojih.
12 Do not give me up to the desires of my enemies, for false witnesses have risen up against me, and they breathe out violence!
Bijesu dušmana mojih ne predaj me, jer ustadoše na mene svjedoci lažni koji dašću nasiljem.
13 What would have happened to me if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living?
Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.
14 Wait for Yahweh; be strong, and let your heart be courageous! Wait for Yahweh!
U Jahvu se uzdaj, ojunači se, čvrsto nek' bude srce tvoje: u Jahvu se uzdaj!
