Psalm 27:1{A Psalm of David.} The LORD3068is my light216 and my salvation;3468 whom shall I fear?3372 the LORD3068is the strength4581 of my life;2416 of whom shall I be afraid?63422 When the wicked,7489even mine enemies6862 and my foes,341 came7126 upon me{Heb. approached against me} to eat up398 my flesh,1320 they stumbled3782 and fell.53073 Though an host4264 should encamp2583 against me, my heart3820 shall not fear:3372 though war4421 should rise6965 against me, in this will I be confident.9824 One259thing have I desired7592 of the LORD,3068 that will I seek1245 after; that I may dwell3427 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 all the days3117 of my life,2416 to behold2372 the beauty5278{Or, the delight} of the LORD,3068 and to enquire1239 in his temple.19645 For in the time3117 of trouble7451 he shall hide6845 me in his pavilion:5520 in the secret5643 of his tabernacle168 shall he hide5641 me; he shall set me up7311 upon a rock.66976 And now shall mine head7218 be lifted up7311 above mine enemies341 round about5439 me: therefore will I offer2076 in his tabernacle168 sacrifices2077 of joy;8643{Heb. of shouting} I will sing,7891 yea, I will sing praises2167 unto the LORD.30687 Hear,8085 O LORD,3068when I cry7121 with my voice:6963 have mercy2603 also upon me, and answer6030 me.
8Whenthousaidst, Seek1245 ye my face;6440 my heart3820 said559 unto thee,{Or, my heart said unto thee, let my face seek thy face, etc.} Thy face,6440 LORD,3068 will I seek.12459 Hide5641 not thy face6440far from me; put51862794 not thy servant5650 away5186 in anger:639 thou hast been my help;5833 leave5203 me not, neither forsake5800 me, O God430 of my salvation.346810 When my father1 and my mother517 forsake5800 me, then the LORD3068 will take me up.622{Heb. will gather me}11 Teach3384 me thy way,1870 O LORD,3068 and lead5148 me in a plain4334 path,734{Heb. a way of plainness} because of mine enemies.8324{Heb. those which observe me}12 Deliver5414 me not over unto the will5315 of mine enemies:6862 for false8267 witnesses5707 are risen up6965 against me, and such as breathe out3307 cruelty.255513Ihadfainted, unless3884 I had believed539 to see7200 the goodness2898 of the LORD3068 in the land776 of the living.241614 Wait6960 on the LORD:3068 be of good courage,2388 and he shall strengthen553 thine heart:3820 wait,6960 I say, on the LORD.3068
