Psalm 27
1 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?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon
me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall
not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be
confident.
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 enquire in his temple.
5 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.
6 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.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also
upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto
thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 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.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD
will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for
false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness
of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
