Psalm 27

My prayer as I Fearlessly Trust in You God.

1 You Lord are my light and my salvation;

Whom should I fear?

You Lord defend my life;

Whom should I dread?

 

2 When evildoers come to devour my flesh,

My adversaries and enemies will stumble and fall.

 

3 If an army encamps against me,

I will not be afraid or fear;

If war arises against me,

I am confident and trust you.

 

4 Lord, one thing I ask and seek from You:

That I may dwell Your house Lord

All the days of my life,

To behold Your beauty

and how wonderful You are Lord

And to meditate and pray in Your temple.

 

5 In times of trouble

You will protect and conceal me;

You will hide me in the secret place of Your shelter;

You will keep me safe

and lift me up on a mighty rock.

 

6 My head is lifted as I defeat

All my enemies around me,

And I will celebrate in Your home with shouts of joy;

And I will sing, yes and Amen praises to the Lord.

 

7 Listen Lord, when I cry with my voice and pray,

And be gracious to me and answer me.

 

8 Lord, as my heart tells me to pray

 I am eager to see Your face.

 

9 Do not hide Your face from me,

I am Your servant and you help me;

You will not abandon me

or turn away in anger.

You alone will not reject me

and will keep me safe.

You are my salvation!

 

10 Even if my father and mother desert me,

You, Lord will take care of me.

 

11 Teach me Your ways, Lord,

And lead me on the right and level path

Away from my enemies.

 

12 You will not turn me over

to the desires of my enemies,

For false witnesses have risen,

And make terrible threats against me.

 

13 I believed that I will see

The goodness of You Lord

To see how kind You are

In the land of the living.

 

14 As I wait and trust in You Lord;

I will be brave and of good courage,

As you strengthen my heart:

Yes Lord, I will wait for You.
