Psalms 27:1-11
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?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and
my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell. Though an host should
encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this
will I be confident. 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 enquire in his temple. 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.
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.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart
said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
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. When my father and my mother
forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in
a plain path, because of mine enemies.
