# Chapter 27
|
||
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
|
||
whom should I fear?
|
||
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
|
||
whom should I dread?
|
||
2 When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh,
|
||
my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.
|
||
3 Though an army deploys against me,
|
||
my heart will not be afraid;
|
||
though a war breaks out against me,
|
||
I will still be confident.
|
||
4 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.
|
||
5 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.
|
||
6 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.
|
||
7 Lord, hear my voice when I call;
|
||
be gracious to me and answer me.
|
||
8 My heart says this about you:
|
||
“Seek his face.”
|
||
Lord, I will seek your face.
|
||
9 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.
|
||
10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,
|
||
the Lord cares for me.
|
||
11 Because of my adversaries,
|
||
show me your way, Lord,
|
||
and lead me on a level path.
|
||
12 Do not give me over to the will of my foes,
|
||
for false witnesses rise up against me,
|
||
breathing violence.
|
||
13 I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodness
|
||
in the land of the living.
|
||
14 Wait for the Lord;
|
||
be strong, and let your heart be courageous.
|
||
Wait for the Lord. |
