PSALM 27-Triumphant Song of Confidence

PSALM 27

Triumphant Song of Confidence

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?

Psalm 27:2 When evildoers assail me, to devour my flesh,  my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall.

Psalm 27:3 Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

Psalm 27:4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Psalm 27:5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent, he will set me high upon a rock.

Psalm 27:6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD.

Psalm 27:7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!

Psalm 27:8 You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.”

Psalm 27:9 Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, you who have been my help. Cast me not off, forsake me not, O God of my salvation!

Psalm 27:10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me up.

Psalm 27:11 Teach me your way, O LORD; and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

Psalm 27:12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.

Psalm 27:13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the LORD!
