Psalms 27

1 [A Psalm] of David. The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Pesem Davidova; Gospod je luč moja in blaginja moja, koga bi se bal? Gospod je življenja mojega moč, koga bi se plašil?

2 When the wicked, [even] my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Vojskujejo se proti meni hudobniki, da pojedó moje meso, sovražniki moji in neprijatelji moji proti meni; oni se zgruzajo in padajo.

3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.

Ko bi šatorišče stavili proti meni, ne bi se balo srce moje; ko bi se spela vojska zoper mene, bil bi brez skrbi za to.

4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Eno sem prosil Gospoda, tega samo želim: da naj sedevam v hiši Gospodovi vse dnî življenja svojega, da gledam lepoto Gospodovo in preiskujem v svetišči njegovem.

5 For in the time of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle will he hide me; he will set me up upon a rock.

Ker skriva me v koči svoji ob času nadloge; skriva me v skrivnem kraji šatora svojega, dviguje me na skalo.

6 And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Že se spenja glava moja nad sovražnike moje, stoječe okrog mene; da darujem v šatoru njegovem daritve z veselim hrupom, pojem in prepevam Gospodu.

7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Sliši me, Gospod, ko kličem z glasom svojim: in milost mi storí, usliši me.

8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said to thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Tvojo besedo: "Iščite obličje moje," premišlja srce moje; obličje tvoje iščem, Gospod.

9 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Ne skrivaj mi obličja svojega, ne obračaj se v jezi od svojega hlapca; pomoč moja si bil, ne zapusti me in ne ostavi blaginje moje.

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

Ker oče moj in mati moja me zapuščata, Gospod pa me sprejme.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.

Uči me, Gospod, svoj pot, in vodi me po ravni stezi zavoljo njih, ki v mé preže.

12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Ne izdajaj me želji sovražnikov mojih; ker zoper mene stojé lažnjive priče, in ki pihajo silovitost;

13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Ko bi ne veroval, da bodem užival dobroto Gospodovo v deželi živečih.

14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he will strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Čakaj Gospoda, potolaži se, in pokrepčal bode srce tvoje; torej čakaj Gospoda.
