LITV - Psalms - 27

27:1  A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

27:2  When the evildoers, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

27:3  If an army should camp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rises against me, in this I am trusting.

27:4  One thing I have asked from Jehovah, it I will seek: my dwelling in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the delight of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple.

27:5  For in the day of evil He shall hide me in His shelter; in the secrecy of His tabernacle, He shall hide me; He shall set me up on a rock.

27:6  And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies, my encirclers, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah.

27:7  Hear, O Jehovah, my voice when I call, and favor me, and answer me.

27:8  My heart said to You, Seek my face; Your face, O Jehovah, I will seek.

27:9  Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn away Your servant in anger; You have been my help, do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

27:10  When my father and my mother forsake me then Jehovah will take me up.

27:11  Teach me Your way, O Jehovah, and lead me in a level path, because of those who watch me.

27:12  Deliver me not into the soul of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen against me, and he that puffs out violence.

27:13  I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

27:14  Hope in Jehovah; be strong and He will make strong your heart; yea, hope in Jehovah!
