Psalms 27
David sustaineth his faith by the power of God,
Psalms 27:1 {David's.} Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread? Psalms 27:2 When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies—mine!—they, stumbled and fell! Psalms 27:3 Though there pitch against me—a camp, my heart shall not fear,—Though there come up against me—a battle, still, am I confident.
by his love to the service of God,
Psalms 27:4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure,—That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple. Psalms 27:5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity,—He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high. Psalms 27:6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh. Psalms 27:7 Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me. Psalms 27:8 To thee, said my heart—[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face—Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
by prayer.
Psalms 27:9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant,—My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God! Psalms 27:10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up! Psalms 27:11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way,—And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries. Psalms 27:12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence. Psalms 27:13 I believe that I shall see—The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living, Psalms 27:14 Wait thou for Yahweh,—Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
