“1 <<[A Psalm] of David.>> The LORD [is] my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall
I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came
upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host
should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should
rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident. 4 One [thing] have I
desired 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 enquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he
shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he
hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be
lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in
his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises
unto the LORD.”
“7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me,
and answer me. 8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto
thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 9 Hide not thy face [far] from me;
put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not,
neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10 When my father and my
mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 11 Teach me thy way, O
LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 12 Deliver
me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen
up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13 [I had fainted],
unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the
living. 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” (Psalm 27:1-14 AV)
