^27:1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?

    ^27:2 When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. ^27:3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

    ^27:4 One thing I have asked of Jehovah, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah and to inquire in his temple.

    ^27:5 Because in the day of trouble he will hide me in his shelter. He will hide me in the covering of his tabernacle He will lift me up upon a rock.

    ^27:6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies all around me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Jehovah.

    ^27:7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me and answer me. ^27:8 My heart said to you, I have sought your face. O Jehovah, I will seek your face.

    ^27:9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.^27:10 Because my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.

    ^27:11 Teach me your way, O Jehovah and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies. ^27:12 Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. Because false witnesses have risen up against me and such as breathe out cruelty.

    ^27:13 I believe that I will see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living. ^27:14 Wait for Jehovah. Be strong and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Jehovah.
