Psalms - Chapter 27

¹ [Of David] Yahweh is my light and my salvation, whom should I fear? Yahweh is the fortress of my life, whom should I dread?

² When the wicked advance against me to eat me up, they, my opponents, my enemies, are the ones who stumble and fall.

³ Though an army pitch camp against me, my heart will not fear, though war break out against me, my trust will never be shaken.

⁴ One thing I ask of Yahweh, one thing I seek: to dwell in Yahweh's house all the days of my life, to enjoy the sweetness of Yahweh, to seek out his temple.

⁵ For he hides me away under his roof on the day of evil, he folds me in the recesses of his tent, sets me high on a rock.

⁶ Now my head is held high above the enemies who surround me; in his tent I will offer sacrifices of acclaim. I will sing, I will make music for Yahweh.

⁷ Yahweh, hear my voice as I cry, pity me, answer me!

⁸ Of you my heart has said, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Yahweh, I seek;

⁹ do not turn away from me. Do not thrust aside your servant in anger, without you I am helpless. Never leave me, never forsake me, God, my Saviour.

¹⁰ Though my father and mother forsake me, Yahweh will gather me up.

¹¹ Yahweh, teach me your way, lead me on the path of integrity because of my enemies;

¹² do not abandon me to the will of my foes -- false witnesses have risen against me, and are breathing out violence.

¹³ This I believe: I shall see the goodness of Yahweh, in the land of the living.

¹⁴ Put your hope in Yahweh, be strong, let your heart be bold, put your hope in Yahweh.
