Psalm 27 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 27:1By David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Psa 27:2When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Psa 27:3Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.
Psa 27:4One thing I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
Psa 27:5For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
Psa 27:6And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
Psa 27:7Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.
Psa 27:8To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'
Psa 27:9Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Psa 27:10When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
Psa 27:11Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Psa 27:12Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
Psa 27:13I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
Psa 27:14Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
