PSALM 27

A Psalm of Fearless Trust in God.

A Psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;

Whom should I fear?

The LORD is the [fn]defense of my life;

Whom should I dread?

2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,

My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

3 If an army encamps against me,

My heart will not fear;

If war arises against me,

In spite of this I am confident.

4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the [fn]beauty of the LORD

And to [fn]meditate in His temple.

5 For on the day of trouble He will conceal me in His [fn]tabernacle;

He will hide me in the secret place of His tent;

He will lift me up on a rock.

6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,

And I will offer sacrifices in His tent [fn]with shouts of joy;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice,

And be gracious to me and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,

“I shall seek Your face, LORD.”

9 Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not abandon me nor forsake me,

God of my salvation!

10 [fn]For my father and my mother have forsaken me,

But the LORD will take me up.

11 Teach me Your way, LORD,

And lead me on a level path

Because of my enemies.

12 Do not turn me over to the [fn]desire of my enemies,

For false witnesses have risen against me,

And the violent witness.

13 I certainly believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD

In the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD;

Be strong and let your heart take courage;

Yes, wait for the LORD.
