Ps 27
0 Psalm 27 [A Psalm] of David.
1
YHWH is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? YHWH is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [Even] mine adversaries and my foes,
they stumbled and fell.
3
Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should
rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
4
One thing have I asked of YHWH, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house
of YHWH all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of YHWH, And to inquire in his
temple.
5
For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert
of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
6
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I
will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises
to YHWH.
7
Hear, O YHWH, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8
[When you said], Seek you my face; My heart said to you, Your face, YHWH, will I seek.
9
Hide not your face from me; Put not your servant away in anger: You have been my help;
Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10
When my father and my mother forsake me, Then YHWH will take me up.
11
Teach me your way, O YHWH; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
12
Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries: 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 YHWH In the land
of the living.
14
Wait for YHWH: Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yea, wait you for YHWH.
