Psalm 27

1. 1

   The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? *
   the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

2. 2

   When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, *
   it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who stumbled and fell.

3. 3

   Though an army should encamp against me, *
   yet my heart shall not be afraid;

4. 4

   And though war should rise up against me, *
   yet will I put my trust in him.

5. 5

   One thing have I asked of the LORD; one thing I seek; *
   that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life;

6. 6

   To behold the fair beauty of the LORD *
   and to seek him in his temple.

7. 7

   For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; *
   he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock.

8. 8

   Even now he lifts up my head *
   above my enemies round about me.

9. 9

   Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; *
   I will sing and make music to the LORD.

10. 10

    Hearken to my voice, O LORD, when I call; *
    have mercy on me and answer me.

11. 11

    You speak in my heart and say, "Seek my face." *
    Your face, LORD, will I seek.

12. 12

    Hide not your face from me, *
    nor turn away your servant in displeasure.

13. 13

    You have been my helper; cast me not away; *
    do not forsake me, O God of my salvation.

14. 14

    Though my father and my mother forsake me, *
    the LORD will sustain me.

15. 15

    Show me your way, O LORD; *
    lead me on a level path, because of my enemies.

16. 16

    Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries, *
    for false witnesses have risen up against me, and also those who speak malice.

17. 17

    What if I had not believed that I should see the goodness of the LORD *
    in the land of the living!

18. 18

    O tarry and await the LORD'S pleasure; be strong, and he shall comfort your heart; *
    wait patiently for the LORD.
