Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.27
[1] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I
fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid?
[2] When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came
upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
[3] Though an host should encamp against me, my heart
shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I
be confident.
[4] One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek
after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of
my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his
temple.
[5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his
pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he
shall set me up upon a rock.
[6] And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine
enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the
LORD.
[7] Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy
also upon me, and answer me.
[8] When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto
thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
[9] Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant
away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither
forsake me, O God of my salvation.
[10] When my father and my mother forsake me, then the
LORD will take me up.
[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain
path, because of mine enemies.
[12] Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:
for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe
out cruelty.
[13] I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the
goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
[14] Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
