Psalmi 27
1 Gospod je moja svetloba in rešitev moje duše, koga bi se bal? Gospod je moč mojega življenja; pred kom bom prestrašen?
[A Psalm] of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Kadar so prišli nadme zlobni, celó moji sovražniki in moji nasprotniki, da požro moje meso, so se spotaknili in padli.
When evil-doers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
3 Čeprav bi se zoper mene utaborila vojska, se moje srce ne bo balo. Četudi bi se zoper mene dvignila vojna, bom jaz pri tem zaupljiv.
Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
4 Eno stvar sem želel od Gospoda, to hočem doseči, da bom lahko prebival v Gospodovi hiši vse dni svojega življenja, da zrem Gospodovo lepoto in da poizvedujem v njegovem templju.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
5 Kajti v času stiske me bo skril v svojem paviljonu. Skril me bo v skrivnosti svojega šotorskega svetišča, postavil me bo na skalo.
For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
6 Sedaj bo moja glava povzdignjena nad moje sovražnike okoli mene, zato bom v njegovem šotorskem svetišču daroval žrtvovanje radosti; pel bom, da, prepeval bom hvalnice Gospodu.
And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
7 Poslušaj, oh Gospod, ko kličem s svojim glasom. Tudi nad menoj imej usmiljenje in mi odgovori.
Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and listen to me.
8 Ko praviš: »Iščite moje obličje, « ti je moje srce reklo: »Tvoje obličje, Gospod, bom iskal.«
My heart said to you, I have diligently sought your face: your face, O Lord, I will seek.
9 Ne skrivaj svojega obličja daleč od mene, svojega služabnika ne odslovi v jezi. Bil si moja pomoč; ne zapusti me niti se me ne odpovej, oh Bog rešitve moje duše.
Turn not your face away from me, turn not you away from your servant in anger: be you my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
10 Ko me moj oče in moja mati zapustita, potem me bo Gospod pobral.
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
11 Úči me svoje poti, oh Gospod in vodi me po ravni stezi, zaradi mojih sovražnikov.
Teach me, O Lord, in your way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Ne izroči me volji mojih sovražnikov, kajti krive priče so vstale zoper mene in takšni, ki izdihujejo krutost.
Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
13 Oslabel sem, razen če sem veroval, da vidim Gospodovo dobroto v deželi živih.
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Čakaj na Gospoda, bodi odločnega poguma in okrepil bo tvoje srce. Čakaj, pravim, na Gospoda.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened: yes wait on the Lord.
