Psa 27 | RSKJ | STEP | יהוה is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? יהוה is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

‏ Psalms 27

1 יהוה is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? יהוה is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of יהוה, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of יהוה all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of יהוה, and to inquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto יהוה. 7 Hear, O יהוה, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, יהוה, will I seek. 9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation. 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then יהוה will take me up. 11 Teach me thy way, O יהוה, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of יהוה in the land of the living. 14 Wait on יהוה: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on יהוה.
