Psalms Chapter[BR] 27

1 *Davidic. The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom should I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom should I be afraid?

2 When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army deploy against me, my heart is not afraid; though war break out against me, still I am confident.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 27

4 I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the LORD and seeking *Him in His temple.

5 For He will conceal me in His shelter in the day of adversity; He will hide me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high on a rock.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 27

6 Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 LORD, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.

8 In Your behalf my heart says, "Seek My face." LORD, I will seek Your face.

9 Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help; do not leave me or abandon me, God of my salvation.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 27

10 Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD cares for me.

11 Because of my adversaries, show me Your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path.

12 Do not give me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing violence.

13 I am certain that I will see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 27

14 Wait for the LORD; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the LORD.
