| Chapter 27 |
1 |
Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
|
2 |
When evil-doers came at me to eat up my flesh, Even my 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 I will be confident.
|
4 |
One thing have I asked of Yahweh, that will I seek after, That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To see the beauty of Yahweh, 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 tent will he hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
|
6 |
Now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
|
7 |
Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
|
8 |
When you said, 'Seek my face,' My heart said to you, 'I will seek your face, Yahweh.'
|
9 |
Don't hide your face from me. Don't put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don't abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
|
10 |
When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Yahweh will take me up.
|
11 |
Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
|
12 |
Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen up against me, Such as breathe out cruelty.
|
13 |
I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
|
14 |
Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. Psalm 28 By David.
