ABP - Psalms - 27

27:1  The lord is my illumination and my deliverer, in whom shall I fear? The lord is the defender of my life, from whom shall I be timid?

27:2  In the approaching against me by the ones inflicting evil to devour my flesh, the ones afflicting me, and my enemies, they weakened and fell.

27:3  If [2should deploy 3against 4me 1a camp], [2shall not 3fear 1my heart]. If [2should rise up 3against 4me 1war], in this I will be hopeful.

27:4  One thing I asked of the lord, this I shall seek -- for me to dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life; for me to view the delightfulness of the lord, and to visit [2temple 1his holy].

27:5  For he hides me in his tent; in a day of my evils he sheltered me in concealment of his tent; in a rock he raised me up high.

27:6  And now behold, he raised up high my head over my enemies. I encircled and sacrificed in his tent a sacrifice of praise and of a shout; I shall sing and strum to the lord.

27:7  Hear, O lord, my voice which I cried out! Show mercy on me, and hear me!

27:8  To you [2said 1my heart], I seek the lord, I sought after you with my face. Your face, O lord, I shall seek.

27:9  You should not turn your face from me, and you should not turn aside in anger from your servant. [2my helper 1Become]! Do not curse me to be far away, and do not abandon me, and do not overlook me, O God my deliverer!

27:10  For my father and my mother abandoned me, but the lord took me to himself.

27:11  Establish the law for me, O lord, in your way! And guide me in [2road 1the straight], because of my enemies!

27:12  Do not deliver me into the souls of ones afflicting me! For [3rose up against 4me 2witnesses 1unjust]; for [2lied 1unjustness] to herself.

27:13  I trust to behold the good things of the lord in the land of the living.

27:14  Wait on the lord! Be manly and fortify your heart, and wait on the lord!
