Psalms 27

1 [A Psalm] of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, 3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; 4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: {N}to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.5 For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; 6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound;

7 Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.8 In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.9 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; 10 For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.11 Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.13 If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!--14 Wait on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.
