Psalms 27 · Clearspring

Of David.

The LORD Is My Salvation

¹By David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?+ ²When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.+ ³Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.+ ⁴One thing I asked of Jehovah--it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.+ ⁵For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.+ ⁶And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies--my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.+ ⁷Hear, O Jehovah, my voice--I call, And favour me, and answer me.+ ⁸To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'+ ⁹Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.+ ¹⁰When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.+ ¹¹Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.+ ¹²Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.+ ¹³I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!+ ¹⁴Look unto Jehovah--be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!+
