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.
