Psalm 27
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The LORD is my light and my salvation--
|
|
|
|
so why should I be afraid?
|
|
The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
|
|
|
|
so why should I tremble?
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. When evil people come to devour me,
|
|
|
|
when my enemies and foes attack me,
|
|
|
|
they will stumble and fall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Though a mighty army surrounds me,
|
|
|
|
my heart will not be afraid.
|
|
|
|
Even if I am attacked,
|
|
|
|
I will remain confident.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The one thing I ask of the LORD--
|
|
|
|
the thing I seek most--
|
|
is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
|
|
delighting in the LORD's perfections
|
|
|
|
and meditating in his Temple.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. For he will conceal me there when troubles come;
|
|
|
|
he will hide me in his sanctuary.
|
|
|
|
He will place me out of reach on a high rock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Then I will hold my head high
|
|
|
|
above my enemies who surround me.
|
|
|
|
At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy,
|
|
singing and praising the LORD with music.
|
|
|
|
7. Hear me as I pray, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
Be merciful and answer me!
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me."
|
|
And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming."
|
|
|
|
9. Do not turn your back on me.
|
|
|
|
Do not reject your servant in anger.
|
|
|
|
You have always been my helper.
|
|
|
|
Don't leave me now; don't abandon me,
|
|
|
|
O God of my salvation!
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Even if my father and mother abandon me,
|
|
the LORD will hold me close.
|
|
|
|
11. Teach me how to live, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
Lead me along the right path,
|
|
|
|
for my enemies are waiting for me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Do not let me fall into their hands.
|
|
|
|
For they accuse me of things I've never done;
|
|
|
|
with every breath they threaten me with violence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness
|
|
|
|
while I am here in the land of the living.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Wait patiently for the LORD.
|
|
|
|
Be brave and courageous.
|
|
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.
