The Book of Psalms
CHAPTER 27. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.
4 One thing have I asked 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 enquire in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the shelter of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: and I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; turn not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and my mother forsake me, yet will the LORD take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a straight path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be strong and let thine heart take courage: wait, I say, on the LORD.
