Psalms 27
27
A Prayer of Praise#Ps 27 Hebrew title: By David.
1The LORD is my light and my salvation;
I will fear no one.
The LORD protects me from all danger;
I will never be afraid.
2When evil people attack me and try to kill me,
they stumble and fall.
3Even if a whole army surrounds me,
I will not be afraid;
even if enemies attack me,
I will still trust God.#27.3 still trust God; or not lose courage.
4I have asked the LORD for one thing;
one thing only do I want:
to live in the LORD's house all my life,
to marvel there at his goodness,
and to ask for his guidance.
5In times of trouble he will shelter me;
he will keep me safe in his Temple
and make me secure on a high rock.
6So I will triumph over my enemies around me.
With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple;
I will sing, I will praise the LORD.
7Hear me, LORD, when I call to you!
Be merciful and answer me!
8When you said, “Come and worship me,”
I answered, “I will come, LORD;
9don't hide yourself from me!”
Don't be angry with me;
don't turn your servant away.
You have been my help;
don't leave me, don't abandon me,
O God, my saviour.
10My father and mother may abandon me,
but the LORD will take care of me.
11Teach me, LORD, what you want me to do,
and lead me along a safe path,
because I have many enemies.
12Don't abandon me to my enemies,
who attack me with lies and threats.
13I know that I will live to see
the LORD's goodness in this present life.
14Trust in the LORD.
Have faith, do not despair.
Trust in the LORD.
