Psalms 27

A Psalm of Fearless Trust in God.

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my alight and my bsalvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the ▼
▼ Or refuge
 , ddefense of my life;
eWhom shall I dread?
 2When evildoers came upon me to fdevour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they gstumbled and fell.
 3Though a hhost encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I ▼
▼ Lit am confident
shall be jconfident.

 4 kOne thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:
That I may ldwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To behold mthe ▼
▼ Lit delightfulness
beauty of the Lord
And to ▼
▼ Lit inquire
 , pmeditate in His temple.
 5For in the qday of trouble He will rconceal me in His ▼
▼ Or shelter
tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will thide me;
He will ulift me up on a rock.
 6And now vmy head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent wsacrifices ▼
▼ Lit of shouts
with shouts of joy;
I will ysing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

 7 zHear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and aaanswer me.
 8 When You said, ab“Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, acI shall seek.”
 9 adDo not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in aeanger;
You have been afmy help;
agDo not abandon me nor ahforsake me,
O God of my salvation!
 10 ▼
▼ Or If my father...forsake me, Then the Lord
For my father and ajmy mother have forsaken me,
But akthe Lord will take me up.

 11 alTeach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a amlevel path
Because of ▼
▼ Or those who lie in wait for me
my foes.
 12Do not deliver me over to the ▼
▼ Lit soul
 , apdesire of my adversaries,
For aqfalse witnesses have risen against me,
And such as arbreathe out violence.
 13 ▼
▼ Or Surely I believed
 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the atgoodness of the Lord
In the auland of the living.
 14 avWait for the Lord;
Be awstrong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
