Psalms:27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A Psalm of David .
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 ?
*
When the wicked ,
my enemies and my foes ,
came on me to eat my flesh ,
they stumbled and fell .
*
Though an army should camp against me ,
my heart shall not fear ;
though war should rise against me ,
in this I am trusting .
*
One [
thing ]
I have desired from the LORD ,
that I will 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 pray in His temple .
*
For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His shelter ,
in the secrecy of His tabernacle He shall hide me ;
He shall set me up on a rock .
*
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies ,
my encirclers ;
and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle .
I will sing ;
yea ,
I will sing praises to the LORD .
*
Hear ,
O LORD , [
when ]
I cry with my voice ;
and have mercy on me ,
and answer me .
*
My heart says to You ,
Seek my face ;
Your face ,
O LORD ,
I will seek ;
*
Hide not Your face from me .
Turn not Your servant away in anger ;
You have been my help ;
leave me not ,
neither forsake me ,
O God of my salvation .
*
When my father and my mother forsake me ,
then the LORD will take me up .
*
Teach me Your way ,
O LORD ,
and lead me in a plain path ,
because of my enemies .
*
Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies ;
for false witnesses have risen up against me ,
and he that breathes out cruelty .
* [
I would have ]
fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living .
*
Hope in the LORD ;
be of good courage ,
and He shall make your heart strong ;
yea ,
hope in the LORD .
