Psalm 27 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Psa 27:1

Psa 27:1A psalm of David.

The LORD is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?

Psa 27:2

Psa 27:2When evil people come to devour me,
when my enemies and foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

Psa 27:3

Psa 27:3Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident.

Psa 27:4

Psa 27:4The one thing I ask of the LORD—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
delighting in the LORD’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple.

Psa 27:5

Psa 27:5For he will conceal me there when troubles come;
he will hide me in his sanctuary.
He will place me out of reach on a high rock.

Psa 27:6

Psa 27:6Then I will hold my head high
above my enemies who surround me.
At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy,
singing and praising the LORD with music.

Psa 27:7

Psa 27:7Hear me as I pray, O LORD.
Be merciful and answer me!

Psa 27:8

Psa 27:8My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.”

Psa 27:9

Psa 27:9Do not turn your back on me.
Do not reject your servant in anger.
You have always been my helper.
Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me,
O God of my salvation!

Psa 27:10

Psa 27:10Even if my father and mother abandon me,
the LORD will hold me close.

Psa 27:11

Psa 27:11Teach me how to live, O LORD.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me.

Psa 27:12

Psa 27:12Do not let me fall into their hands.
For they accuse me of things I’ve never done;
with every breath they threaten me with violence.

Psa 27:13

Psa 27:13Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness
while I am here in the land of the living.

Psa 27:14

Psa 27:14Wait patiently for the LORD.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.
