NASB2020 ▾Psalm ▾27 ▾Psalm 271The L ord is my light and my salvation; Whom should I fear? The L ord is the defense of my life; Whom should I dread?2When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.3If an army encamps against me, My heart will not fear; If war arises against me, In spite of this I am confident.4¶One thing I have asked from the L ord , that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the L ord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the L ord And to meditate in His temple.5For on the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; He will hide me in the secret place of His tent; He will lift me up on a rock.6And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the L ord .7¶Hear, L ord , when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.8When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “I shall seek Your face, L ord .”9Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, God of my salvation!10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the L ord will take me up.11¶Teach me Your way, L ord , And lead me on a level path Because of my enemies.12Do not turn me over to the desire of my enemies, For false witnesses have risen against me, And the violent witness.13I certainly believed that I would see the goodness of the L ord In the land of the living.14Wait for the L ord ; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the L ord .Psalm 26Psalm 28
