1.6 KiB
Psalm 27My Stronghold
The Lord is my light and my salvation-- whom should I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-- whom should I dread?
-
When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.
-
Though an army deploys against me, my heart will not be afraid; though a war breaks out against me, I will still be confident.
-
I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking him in his temple.
-
For he will conceal me in his shelter in the day of adversity; he will hide me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.
-
Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in his tent with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Lord, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.
-
My heart says this about you: "Seek his face." Lord, I will seek your face.
-
Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or abandon me, God of my salvation.
-
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord cares for me.
-
Because of my adversaries, show me your way, Lord, and lead me on a level path.
-
Do not give me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing violence.
-
I am certain that I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living.
-
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart be courageous. Wait for the Lord.
