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!

This Psalm has been comforting to me this past week. So glad you're there (in the Word), too!

This is the first time I've visited your blog - I saw the post title on Wayside Treasures and clicked on it.

It's as if this psalm were written for me today.

How I needed to be reminded!

Thank you.
