Psalms 27

1 David sustaineth his faith by the power of God, 4 by his love to the service of God, 9 by prayer.

 27:1 ¶ [[[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?

 27:2 When the wicked, [even] my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

 27:3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.

 27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I 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 inquire in his temple.

 27:5 For in the time of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle will he hide me; he will set me up upon a rock.

 27:6 And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

 27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

 27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said to thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

 27:9 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.

 27:12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

 27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he will strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
