Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my 

salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my

life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

To eat up my flesh,

My enemies and foes,

They stumbled and fell.

Though an army may encamp

against me,

My heart shall not fear;

Though war may rise against me,

in this I will be confident.

One thing i have desired of the 

Lord,

That I will seek:

That I may dwell 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 in the time of trouble,

He shall hide me in his 

pavilion;

In the secret place of His 

tabernacle

He shall hide me; 

He shall set me high upon a 

rock.

And now my head shall be

lifted up above my enemies 

all around me;

Therefore I will offer sacrifices 

of joy in His Tabernacle;

I will sing, yes I will sing praises 

to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with 

my voice!

Have mercy also upon me, and 

answer me.

When You said, "Seek My

face,"

My heart said to You "Your 

face, Lord I will seek."

Do not hide Your face from me;

Do not turn Your servant away

in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not leave me nor forsake

me,

O God of my salvation.

When my father and my

mother forsake me,

Then the Lord will take care 

of me.

Teach me Your way, O Lord

And lead me in a smooth path,

because of my enemies.

Do not deliver me to the will 

of my adversaries; 

For false witnesses have risen 

against me, 

And such as  breath out 

violence.

I would have lost heart, unless 

I had believed

that I would see the goodness 

of the Lord

In the land of the living. 

Wait on the Lord;

be of good courage,

And he shall strengthen your heart; 

Wait, I say, on the Lord!
