¹{Psalm Davidov.} GOSPOD je luč moja in rešitev moja, koga bi se bal? GOSPOD je življenja mojega obrana, koga bi se plašil?

¹Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

²Ko so se mi bližali hudobniki, da pojedo moje meso, zatiralci moji in sovražilci moji, spoteknili so se in padli.

²When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

³Če bi se vojska utaborila proti meni, brez strahu mi je srce, če bi nastal boj zoper mene, upajoč še veselim se tega.

³Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

⁴Eno sem prosil GOSPODA, to samo želim: da smem bivati v hiši GOSPODOVI vse dni življenja svojega, da gledam lepoto GOSPODOVO in jo preiskujem v svetišču njegovem.

⁴One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

⁵Kajti on me skrije v koči svoji ob dnevu nesreče, prikrije me v skrivališču šatora svojega in me vzdigne na skalo.

⁵For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

⁶In tako bo povišana glava moja nad sovražnike moje, stoječe okrog mene, in daroval bom v šatoru njegovem daritve glasnega veselja, pel bom in psalme citral GOSPODU.

⁶Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

⁷Sliši me, o GOSPOD, ko kličem z glasom svojim, usmili se me in odgovóri mi!

⁷Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

⁸Ker veliš: Iščite obličje moje! srce moje ti govori: Obličje tvoje bom iskal, GOSPOD.

⁸When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

⁹Ne skrivaj mi obličja svojega, ne zapodi v jezi hlapca svojega; pomoč moja si bil, ne zavrzi me in ne zapusti me, o Bog zveličanja mojega.

⁹Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

¹⁰Kajti oče moj in mati moja sta me zapustila, GOSPOD pa me k sebi privije.

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

¹¹Uči me, GOSPOD, svoj pot in vodi me po ravni stezi zavoljo njih, ki name preže.

¹¹Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

¹²Ne izdajaj me želji zatiralcev mojih, ker zoper mene stoje lažnive priče in ki pihajo silovitost.

¹²Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

¹³Ko bi ne veroval, da bom užival dobroto GOSPODOVO v deželi živečih, bi bil poginil.Čakaj GOSPODA, bodi močan in naj se ohrabri srce tvoje, da čakaj GOSPODA!

¹³I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

¹⁴Čakaj GOSPODA, bodi močan in naj se ohrabri srce tvoje, da čakaj GOSPODA!

¹⁴Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
