Psalms 27
27
A Psalm of David.
1The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom will I be afraid?
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 When the wicked came against me
to eat my flesh—
my enemies and my foes—
they stumbled and fell.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 One thing I have asked from the Lord,
that will I seek after—
for me to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to see the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 For in the time of trouble
He will hide me in His pavilion;
in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;
He will set me up on a rock.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Now my head will be lifted up
above my enemies encircling me;
therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Be gracious to me and answer me.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 When You said, “Seek My face,”
my heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 Do not hide Your face far from me;
do not thrust Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help.
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 If my father and my mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take me in.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
and lead me in an upright path,
because of my enemies.
12Do not deliver me to the will of my enemies;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13I believe
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14Wait on the Lord;
be strong, and may your heart be stout;
wait on the Lord.
