Psalm 27
Revised Version 1895
A Psalm of David.
1The LORDH3068 is my lightH216 and my salvationH3468; whomH4310 shall I fearH3372? the LORDH3068 is the strengthH4581 of my lifeH2416; of whomH4310 shall I be afraidH3372?
2When evil-doers cameH7126 uponH5921 meH5921 to eatH398 upH5921 my fleshH1320, evenH853 mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbledH3782 and fellH5307.
3ThoughH518 an hostH4264 should encampH2583 againstH5921 meH5921, my heartH3820 shall notH3808 fearH3372: thoughH518 warH4421 should riseH6965 againstH5921 meH5921, evenH3808 then will I be confidentH982.
4One thingH259 have I askedH7592 of the LORDH3068, that will I seekH1245 afterH3117; that I may dwellH3427 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 allH3605 the daysH3117 of my lifeH3117, to beholdH2372 the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068, and to inquireH7592 in his templeH1004.
5For in the dayH3117 of troubleH7451 he shall keepH6845 meH7311 secretlyH6845 in his pavilion: in the covert of his tabernacleH5520 shall he hideH5641 meH7311; he shall liftH7311 meH7311 upH7311 upon a rockH6697.
6And nowH6258 shall mine headH7218 be liftedH7311 upH7311 aboveH5921 mine enemiesH341 roundH5439 aboutH5439 meH5921; and I will offerH2076 in his tabernacleH168 sacrificesH2077 of joyH8643; I will singH2167, yea, I will singH2167 praisesH2167 unto the LORDH3068.
7HearH8085, O LORDH3068, when I cryH7121 with my voiceH6963: have mercyH2603 also uponH7121 meH6963, and answerH6030 meH6963.
8When thou saidst, SeekH1245 ye my faceH6440; my heartH3820 saidH559 unto thee, Thy faceH6440, LORDH3068, will I seekH1245.
9HideH5641 notH408 thy faceH6440 from meH6440; put notH408 thy servantH5650 awayH5186 in angerH639: thou hast been my helpH5833; castH5203 meH6440 notH408 offH4480, neitherH408 forsakeH5203 meH6440, O GodH430 of my salvationH3468.
10For my fatherH1 and my motherH517 have forsaken meH517, but the LORDH3068 will takeH622 meH517 up.
11TeachH3384 meH5148 thy wayH1870, O LORDH3068; and leadH5148 meH5148 in a plainH4334 pathH734, becauseH4616 of mine enemies.
12DeliverH5414 meH5414 notH408 over unto the will of mine adversaries: for falseH8267 witnessesH5707 are risenH6965 upH6965 against meH5414, and suchH5315 as breatheH3307 outH6965 cruelty.
