Psalm 27
Created by Angel 15 years ago
The Lord is my light and salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me
to devour my flesh -
my adversaries and foes -
they shall stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident.
One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after;
to live 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
for he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the
cover of his tent;
he will set me high on a rock.
Now my head is lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord
Hear, O Lord when I cry aloud,
be gracious to me and answer me!
"Come", my heart says, "seek his face!"
Your face Lord do I seek.
Do not hide your face from me.
Do not turn your servant away in anger,
you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off, do not forsake me
O God of my salvation!
If my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me up.
Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
Do not give up to the will of my adversaries
for false witnesses have risen against me
and they are breathing out violence.
I believe that I shall see the
goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart
take courage;
wait for the Lord!
