PS-27:1 [A Psalm] of David. 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?

PS-27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came

upon me to eat

up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

PS-27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall

not fear:

though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be]

confident.

PS-27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek

after; 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.

PS-27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his

pavilion: in the

secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up

upon a rock.

PS-27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies

round about

me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing,

yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

PS-27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy

also upon me, and

answer me.

PS-27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto

thee, Thy

face, LORD, will I seek.

PS-27:9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant

away in anger:

thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God

of my

salvation.

PS-27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD

will take me

up.

PS-27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,

because of

mine enemies.

PS-27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for

false

witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out

cruelty.

PS-27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the

goodness of the

LORD in the land of the living.

PS-27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall

strengthen thine

heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
