Psalm 27
A Psalm of
David.
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 inquire 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.
