# Psalm 27 Of David. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.” 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation! 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in. 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. 
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! 
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
