Psalm Chapter 27 Back NextPsalm 27 By
David.
{27:1} Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
{27:2} When evildoers came at me to eat up my
flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
{27:3} Though an
army should
encamp against me, my
heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
{27:4} One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
{27:5} For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
{27:6} Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
{27:7} Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
{27:8} When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, Yahweh."
{27:9} Don't hide your face from me. Don't put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don't abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
{27:10} When my
father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.
{27:11} Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
{27:12} Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
{27:13} I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
{27:14} Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
