      Psalm 27 (Listen)

      The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation

      Of David.

      27:1   The LORD is my light and my salvation;
          whom shall I fear?
        The LORD is the stronghold1 of my life;
          of whom shall I be afraid?
      2   When evildoers assail me
          to eat up my flesh,
        my adversaries and foes,
          it is they who stumble and fall.
      3   Though an army encamp against me,
          my heart shall not fear;
        though war arise against me,
          yet2 I will 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 gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
          and to inquire3 in his temple.
      5   For he will hide me in his shelter
          in the day of trouble;
        he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
          he will lift me high upon a rock.
      6   And now my head shall be lifted up
          above my enemies all around me,
        and I will offer in his tent
          sacrifices with shouts of joy;
        I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
      7   Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
          be gracious to me and answer me!
      8   You have said, “Seek4 my face.”
        My heart says to you,
          “Your face, LORD, do I seek.”5
      9     Hide not your face from me.
        Turn not your servant away in anger,
          O you who have been my help.
        Cast me not off; forsake me not,
          O God of my salvation!
      10   For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
          but the LORD will take me in.
      11   Teach me your way, O LORD,
          and lead me on a level path
          because of my enemies.
      12   Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
          for false witnesses have risen against me,
          and they breathe out violence.
      13   I believe that I shall look6 upon the goodness of the LORD
          in the land of the living!
      14   Wait for the LORD;
          be strong, and let your heart take courage;
          wait for the LORD!
