psalms 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 evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 - Though an army should encamp against me,my heart shall not fear.Though war should rise against me,even then I will be confident.
4 - One thing I have asked of The LORD, that I will seek after:that I may dwell in The LORD's house all the days of my life,to see The LORD's beauty,and to inquire in his temple.
5 - For 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.
6 - Now 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 The LORD.
7 - Hear, The LORD, when I cry with my voice.Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8 - When you said, "Seek my face,"my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, The LORD."
9 - Don'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.
10 - When my father and my mother forsake me,then the LORD will take me up.
11 - Teach me your way, The LORD.Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 - Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,for false witnesses have risen up against me,such as breathe out cruelty.
13 - I am still confident of this:I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 - Wait for The LORD.Be strong, and let your heart take courage.Yes, wait for The LORD.
