Chapter 27

Psalms 27

A Psalm of David.

1

The LORD is my light, and my saluation, whome shal I feare? the LORD is the strength of my life, of whō shall I be afraid?

2

When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon me to eat vp my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3

Though an host should encampe against me, my heart shall not feare: though warre should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4

One thing haue I desired of the LORD, that will I seeke after: that I may dwel in the house of the LORD, all the dayes of my life, to behold the beautie of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

5

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pauilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me, hee shall set me vp vpon a rocke.

6

And now shall mine head be lifted vp aboue mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of ioy, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises vnto the LORD.

7

Heare, O LORD, when I crie with my voice: haue mercie also vpon mee, and answere me.

8

When thou saidst, Seeke ye my face, my heart said vnto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seeke.

9

Hide not thy face farre frō me, put not thy seruant away in anger: thou hast bin my helpe, leaue me not, neither forsake me, O God of my saluation.

10

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me vp.

11

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and leade me in a plaine path, because of mine enemies.

12

Deliuer me not ouer vnto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen vp against me, and such as breath out crueltie.

13

I had fainted, vnlesse I had beleeued to see the goodnesse of the LORD in the land of the liuing.

14

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
