<h2>Psalm 27</h2>
By David.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V1"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:1</font></SPAN> Yahweh is my light
and my salvation.
<br/>Whom shall I fear?
<br/>Yahweh is the strength of my life.
<br/>Of whom shall I be afraid?
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V2"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:2</font></SPAN> When evil-doers came
at me to eat up my flesh,
<br/>even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V3"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:3</font></SPAN> Though an army should
encamp against me,
<br/>my heart shall not fear.
<br/>Though war should rise against me,
<br/>even then I will be confident.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V4"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:4</font></SPAN> One thing I have
asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after,
<br/>that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,
<br/>to see Yahweh's beauty,
<br/>and to inquire in his temple.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V5"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:5</font></SPAN> For in the day of
trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
<br/>In the covert of his tent he will hide me.
<br/>He will lift me up on a rock.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V6"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:6</font></SPAN> Now my head will be
lifted up above my enemies around me.
<br/>I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent.
<br/>I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
<br/>
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V7"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:7</font></SPAN> Hear, Yahweh, when I
cry with my voice.
<br/>Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V8"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:8</font></SPAN> When you said,
"Seek my face,"
<br/>my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, Yahweh."
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V9"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:9</font></SPAN> Don't hide your face
from me.
<br/>Don't put your servant away in anger.
<br/>You have been my help.
<br/>Don't abandon me,
<br/>neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V10"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:10</font></SPAN> When my father and
my mother forsake me,
<br/>then Yahweh will take me up.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V11"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:11</font></SPAN> Teach me your way,
Yahweh.
<br/>Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V12"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:12</font></SPAN> Don't deliver me
over to the desire of my adversaries,
<br/>for false witnesses have risen up against me,
<br/>such as breathe out cruelty.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V13"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:13</font></SPAN> I am still confident
of this:
<br/>I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
<br/> <SPAN name="C27V14"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">27:14</font></SPAN> Wait for Yahweh.
<br/>Be strong, and let your heart take courage.
<br/>Yes, wait for Yahweh.
