Psalms 27

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?

(Af David.) HERREN er mit Lys og min Frelse, hvem skal jeg frygte? HERREN er Værn for mit Liv, for hvem skal jeg ræddes?

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

Når onde kommer imod mig for at æde mit Kød, så snubler og falder de, Uvenner og Fjender!

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

Om en Hær end lejrer sig mod mig, er mit Hjerte uden Frygt; om Krig bryder løs imod mig, dog er jeg tryg.

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 enquire in his temple.

Om eet har jeg bedet HERREN, det attrår jeg: alle mine Dage at bo i HERRENs Hus for at skue HERRENs Livsalighed og grunde i hans Tempel.

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

Thi han gemmer mig i sin Hytte på Ulykkens Dag, skjuler mig i sit Telt og løfter mig op på en Klippe.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Derfor løfter mit Hoved sig over mine Fjender omkring mig. I hans Telt vil jeg ofre Jubelofre, med Sang og med Spil vil jeg prise HERREN.

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

HERRE, hør mit Råb, vær nådig og svar mig!

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Jeg mindes, du sagde: "Søg mit Åsyn!" Dit Åsyn søger jeg, HERRE;

Hide not thy face far 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.

skjul ikke dit Åsyn for mig! Bortstød ikke din Tjener i Vrede, du er min Hjælp, opgiv og slip mig ikke, min Frelses Gud!

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

Thi Fader og Moder forlod mig, men HERREN tager mig til sig.

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

Vis mig, HERRE, din Vej og led mig ad jævne Stier for Fjendernes Skyld;

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

giv mig ikke i glubske Uvenners Magt! Thi falske Vidner, der udånder Vold, står frem imod mig.

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

Havde jeg ikke troet, at jeg skulde skue HERRENs Godhed i de levendes Land -

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Bi på HERREN, fat Mod, dit Hjerte være stærkt, ja bi på HERREN!
