CHAPTER 27

Of David.

The LORD

is my light

and my salvation—

whom

shall I fear?

The LORD

is the stronghold

of my life—

whom

shall I dread?

When the wicked

came

upon me

to devour

my flesh,

my enemies

and foes

stumbled

and fell.

Though

an army

encamps

around me,

my heart

will not

fear;

though

a war

breaks out

against me,

I

will keep my trust.

One thing

I have asked

of the LORD,

this is what I desire:

to dwell

in the house

of the LORD

all

the days

of my life,

to gaze

on the beauty

of the LORD

and seek Him

in His temple.

For

in the day

of trouble

He will hide

me in His shelter;

He will conceal me

under the cover

of His tent;

He will set me high

upon a rock.

Then

my head

will be held high

above

my enemies

around me.

At His tabernacle

I will offer

sacrifices

with shouts of joy;

I will sing

and make music

to the LORD.

Hear,

O LORD,

my voice

when I call;

be merciful

and answer me.

My heart

said,

“Seek

His face.”

Your face,

O LORD,

I will seek.

Hide

not

Your face

from me,

nor

turn away

Your servant

in anger.

You have been

my helper;

do not

leave me

or

forsake me,

O God

of my salvation.

Though

my father

and mother

forsake me,

the LORD

will receive me.

Teach me

Your way,

O LORD,

and lead

me on a level

path,

because of

my oppressors.

Do not

hand me over

to the will

of my foes,

for

FALSE

witnesses

rise up

against me,

breathing out

violence.

Still

I am certain

to see

the goodness

of the LORD

in the land

of the living.

Wait patiently

for

the LORD;

be strong

and courageous.

Wait patiently

for

the LORD.
