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