# Chapter 27
|
|
1 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?
|
|
2 When the wicked came against me
|
|
To eat up my flesh,
|
|
My enemies and foes,
|
|
They stumbled and fell.
|
|
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
|
|
My heart shall not fear;
|
|
Though war may rise against me,
|
|
In this I will be confident.
|
|
4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,
|
|
That will I seek:
|
|
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 inquire in His temple.
|
|
5 For in the time of trouble
|
|
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
|
|
In the secret place of His tabernacle
|
|
He shall hide me;
|
|
He shall set me high upon a rock.
|
|
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
|
|
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
|
|
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
|
|
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
|
|
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
|
|
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
|
|
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
|
|
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
|
|
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
|
|
You have been my help;
|
|
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
|
|
O God of my salvation.
|
|
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
|
|
Then the Lord will take care of me.
|
|
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
|
|
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
|
|
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
|
|
For false witnesses have risen against me,
|
|
And such as breathe out violence.
|
|
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
|
|
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
|
|
In the land of the living.
|
|
14 Wait on the Lord;
|
|
Be of good courage,
|
|
And He shall strengthen your heart;
|
|
Wait, I say, on the Lord! |
