Psalms 27
Ready to read
1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom should I fear? The LORD is the [217]defense of my life; Whom should I dread?
2
When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
3
If an army encamps against me, My heart will not fear; If war arises against me, In spite of this I am confident.
4
One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the [218]beauty of the LORD And to [219]meditate in His temple.
5
For on the day of trouble He will conceal me in His [220]tabernacle; He will hide me in the secret place of His tent; He will lift me up on a rock.
6
And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer sacrifices in His tent [221]with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7
Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.
8
When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “I shall seek Your face, LORD.”
9
Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, God of my salvation!
10
[222]For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up.
11
Teach me Your way, LORD, And lead me on a level path Because of my enemies.
12
Do not turn me over to the [223]desire of my enemies, For false witnesses have risen against me, And the violent witness.
13
I certainly believed that I would 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.
