Psalms 27
Psalm 27
Yahweh Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
1Yahweh is my light and my salvation;Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the ▼
▼Or refuge
strong defense of my life;Whom shall I dread?
2When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
3Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In this I trust.
4One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,
To behold the ▼
▼Lit delightfulness
beauty of YahwehAnd to inquire in His temple.
5For in the day of calamity He will conceal me in His shelter;
In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.
6And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with loud shouts of joy;
I will sing, and I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7Hear, O Yahweh, when I call with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.
8On Your behalf my heart says, “Seek My face,”
“Your face, O Yahweh, I shall seek.”
9Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your slave away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not abandon me and do not forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
10 ▼
▼ Or If my father...forsake me, Then Yahweh
For my father and my mother have forsaken me,But Yahweh will take me up.
11Instruct me in Your way, O Yahweh,
And lead me in a level path
Because of ▼
▼Or those who lie in wait for me
my foes.12Do not give me over to the ▼
▼Lit soul
desire of my adversaries,For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 ▼
▼ Or If I had not believed
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of YahwehIn the land of the living.
14Hope in Yahweh;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Hope in Yahweh.
