          DASV: Psalm 27    

Of David

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
          whom shall I fear?
      The LORD is the strength of my life;
          of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers attack me to devour my flesh,
     even my adversaries and my foes stumble and fall.
3 Though an army is deployed against me,
     my heart will not fear;
      though a battle breaks out against me,
     even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I have asked of the LORD,
     this is what I am seeking:
      that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
           all the days of my life,
                to gaze on the beauty of the LORD,
           and to inquire in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his shelter,
     in the cover of his tabernacle he will hide me;
           he will put me high on a secure rock.
6 Then I will lift my head up above my enemies who surround me,
     and I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
           I will sing and perform music to the LORD.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry out;
     have mercy on me and answer me.
8 When you said, "Seek my face."
     My heart said to you, "Your face, LORD, I will seek."
9 Do not hide your face from me;
     do not turn your servant away in anger.
           You have been my help.
     Do not desert or abandon me,
           O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother abandon me,
     then the LORD will take me in.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
     and lead me in a level path
           because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
     for false witnesses have risen against me,
           they exhale violence.

13 I am confident of this:
      that I will see the goodness of the LORD
           in the land of the living.
14 Wait expectantly for the LORD;
     be strong and let your heart take courage
           and wait expectantly for the LORD.
