27
A
Psalm of David.
1 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.
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.
