P SALM 27

Psalm 27   1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—        whom shall I fear?        The LORD is the stronghold of my life—        of whom shall I be afraid?  2 When evil men advance against me        to devour my flesh,        when my enemies and my foes attack me,        they will stumble and fall.   3 Though an army besiege me,        my heart will not fear;        though war break out against me,        even then will I be confident. 4 One thing I ask of the LORD,        this is what I seek:        that I may dwell in the house of the LORD        all the days of my life,        to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD        and to seek him in his temple.    5 For in the day of trouble        he will keep me safe in his dwelling;        he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle        and set me high upon a rock. 6 Then my head will be exalted        above the enemies who surround me;        at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;        I will sing and make music to the LORD.    7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;        be merciful to me and answer me. 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [b] face!"        Your face, LORD, I will seek.   9 Do not hide your face from me,        do not turn your servant away in anger;        you have been my helper.        Do not reject me or forsake me,        O God my Savior.  10 Though my father and mother forsake me,        the LORD will receive me.    11 Teach me your way, O LORD;        lead me in a straight path        because of my oppressors.   12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,        for false witnesses rise up against me,        breathing out violence.  13 I am still confident of this:        I will see the goodness of the LORD        in the land of the living.   14 Wait for the LORD;        be strong and take heart        and wait for the LORD.   Have A Bless Day
