Psalms:27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Jehovah is my light and my salvation ;
whom shall I fear ?
Jehovah is the strength of my life ;
of whom shall I be afraid ?
*
When the wicked ,
my enemies and my foes ,
came upon me to eat my flesh ,
they stumbled and fell .
*
Though an army should encamp against me ,
my heart shall not fear ;
though war should rise against me ,
in this I have confidence .
*
One thing I have desired from Jehovah ,
that I will seek after :
That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life ,
to behold the beauty of Jehovah ,
and to inquire in His temple .
*
For in the time of evil He shall hide me in His den ,
in the secrecy of His tent He shall hide me ;
He shall lift me up upon a rock .
*
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me ;
and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tent .
I will sing ;
yea ,
I will make music unto Jehovah .
*
Hear ,
O Jehovah ,
when I cry out with my voice ,
and have mercy upon me and answer me .
*
When You say ,
Seek My face ,
my heart has said unto You ,
Your face ,
O Jehovah ,
I will seek .
*
Hide not Your face from me ;
turn not Your servant away in anger .
You have been my help ;
do not leave me ,
nor forsake me ,
O God of my salvation .
*
When my father and my mother forsake me ,
then Jehovah will gather me up .
*
Teach me Your way ,
O Jehovah ,
and lead me in a plain path ,
because of my enemies .
*
Do not deliver me over to the will of my enemies ;
for false witnesses have risen up against me ,
and such as breathe out violence .
*
I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living .
*
Wait upon Jehovah ;
be of good courage ,
and He shall strengthen your heart ;
wait ,
I say ,
upon Jehovah !
