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