Psalm 27 (New King James Version)
A Psalm of David.
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 came against
me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp
against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise
against me,
In this I will be
confident.
4 One thing I have
desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
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 place of His
tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon
a rock.
6 And now my head shall be
lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer
sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will
sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I
cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me,
and answer me.
8 When You said,
“Seek My face,”
My heart said to You,
“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 help;
Do not leave me nor
forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my
mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take
care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth
path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the
will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have
risen against me,
And such as breathe out
violence.
13 I would have lost heart,
unless I had believed
That I would 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
your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
