PSALM 27
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1The Lord's my light and saving health,
who shall make me dismay'd?
My life's strength is the Lord, of whom
then shall I be afraid?
2When as mine enemies and foes,
most wicked persons all,
To eat my flesh against me rose,
they stumbled and did fall.
3Against me though an host encamp,
my heart yet fearless is:
Though war against me rise, I will
be confident in this.
4One thing I of the Lord desir'd,
and will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
within God's house remain;
That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may rev'rently enquire.
5For he in his pavilion shall
me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
and on a rock me raise.
6And now, ev'n at this present time,
mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,
and round encompass me:
Therefore unto his tabernacle
I'll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, I
to God will praises sing.
7O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
when I do cry to thee;
Upon me also mercy have,
and do thou answer me.
8When thou didst say, Seek ye my face,
then unto thee reply
Thus did my heart, Above all things
thy face, Lord, seek will I.
9Far from me hide not thou thy face;
put not away from thee
Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
an helper been to me.
O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor forsake:
10Though me my parents both should leave,
the Lord will me up take.
11O Lord, instruct me in thy way,
to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.
12Give me not to mine en'mies' will;
for witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
as breathe out cruelty.
13I fainted had, unless that I
believed had to see
The Lord's own goodness in the land
of them that living be.
14Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,
and he shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord.

Psalms 27
27
Let Your Heart Take Courage
1Of David. Adonai is my light and my salvation: whom should I fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life: whom should I dread?
2When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh —my adversaries and my foes— they stumbled and fell.
3Though an army camp besieges me, my heart will not fear. Though war breaks out against me, even then will I be confident.
4One thing have I asked of Adonai, that will I seek: to dwell in the House of Adonai all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Adonai, and to meditate in His Temple.
5For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His sukkah, conceal me in the shelter of His tent, and set me high upon a rock.
6Then will my head be high above my enemies around me. In His Tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, sing praises to Adonai.
7Hear, Adonai, when I call with my voice, be gracious to me and answer me.
8To You my heart says: “Seek My face.” Your face, Adonai, I seek.
9Do not hide Your face from me. Do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me or forsake me, O God my salvation.
10Though my father and my mother forsake me, Adonai will take me in.
11Teach me Your way, Adonai, and lead me on a level path— because of my enemies.
12Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes. For false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
13Surely I trust that I will see the goodness of Adonai in the land of the living.
14Wait for Adonai. Be strong, let Your heart take courage, and wait for Adonai.
