Psalm 27 (New International Version)



 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
       whom shall I fear? 
       The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
       of whom shall I be afraid? 
 2 When evil men advance against me 
       to devour my flesh, 
       when my enemies and my foes attack me, 
       they will stumble and fall. 

 3 Though an army besiege me, 
       my heart will not fear; 
       though war break out against me, 
       even then will I be confident. 

 4 One thing I ask of the LORD, 
       this is what I seek: 
       that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 
       all the days of my life, 
       to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD 
       and to seek him in his temple. 

 5 For in the day of trouble 
       he will keep me safe in his dwelling; 
       he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle 
       and set me high upon a rock. 

 6 Then my head will be exalted 
       above the enemies who surround me; 
       at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; 
       I will sing and make music to the LORD. 

 7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; 
       be merciful to me and answer me. 

 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his  face!" 
       Your face, LORD, I will seek. 

 9 Do not hide your face from me, 
       do not turn your servant away in anger; 
       you have been my helper. 
       Do not reject me or forsake me, 
       O God my Savior. 

 10 Though my father and mother forsake me, 
       the LORD will receive me. 

 11 Teach me your way, O LORD; 
       lead me in a straight path 
       because of my oppressors. 

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

 13 I am still confident of this: 
       I will see the goodness of the LORD 
       in the land of the living. 

 14 Wait for the LORD; 
       be strong and take heart 
       and wait for the LORD.
