Psalmi 27

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

“A psalm of David.” The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

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

When the wicked came upon me to devour me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they stumbled and fell.

3 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.

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.

4 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.

One thing have I desired of the LORD; that do I yet seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the grace of the LORD, And to gaze upon his temple.

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

For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion; Yea, in the secret place of his tabernacle will he shelter me; He will set me upon a rock.

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

Yea, already doth he lift my head above my enemies, who are around me; Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer sacrifices with the sound of trumpets; I will sing, yea, with instruments of music I will give praise to the LORD.

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

Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!

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

When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I seek.

9 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.

O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!

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

For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.

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

Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!

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

Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.

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

I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!

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

Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!
