Psalms 27

A Psalm of Fearless Trust in God.

A Psalm of David.

1The Lord is my 1light and my 2salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the 34defense of my life; 5Whom shall I dread?2When evildoers came upon me to 6devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they 7stumbled and fell.3Though a 8host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I 9shall be 10confident.

411One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may 12dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold 13the 14beauty of the Lord And to 1516meditate in His temple.5For in the 17day of trouble He will 18conceal me in His 19tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will 20hide me; He will 21lift me up on a rock.6And now 22my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent 23sacrifices 24with shouts of joy; I will 25sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

726Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and 27answer me.8When You said, “28Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, 29I shall seek.”930Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in 31anger; You have been 32my help; 33Do not abandon me nor 34forsake me, O God of my salvation!1035For my father and 36my mother have forsaken me, But 37the Lord will take me up.

1138Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a 39level path Because of 40my foes.12Do not deliver me over to the 4142desire of my adversaries, For 43false witnesses have risen against me, And such as 44breathe out violence.1345I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the 46goodness of the Lord In the 47land of the living.1448Wait for the Lord; Be 49strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.
