Psalm 27
- 1
Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread? Begin Abide·
- 2
When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell. Begin Abide·
- 3
Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust. Begin Abide·
- 4
One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple. Begin Abide·
- 5
For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock. Begin Abide·
- 6
Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. Begin Abide·
- 7
Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me. Begin Abide·
- 8
My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek. Begin Abide·
- 9
Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation. Begin Abide·
- 10
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. Begin Abide·
- 11
Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors. Begin Abide·
- 12
Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. Begin Abide·
- 13
Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Begin Abide·
- 14
Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD! Begin Abide·
