| Psa. 27:1 |
Jehovah is my light and my salvation; / Whom shall I fear? / Jehovah is the strength of my life; / Whom shall I dread? |
| Psa. 27:2 |
When evildoers come near me / To devour my flesh, / It is they, my adversaries and my enemies, / Who stumble and fall. |
| Psa. 27:3 |
If an army camps against me, / My heart does not fear; / If a battle arises against me, / In spite of this I am confident. |
| Psa. 27:4 |
One thing I have asked from Jehovah; / That do I seek: / To dwell in the house of Jehovah / All the days of my life, / To behold the beauty of Jehovah, / And to inquire in His temple. |
| Psa. 27:5 |
For He will conceal me in His shelter / In the day of trouble; / He will hide me in the hiding place of His tent; / He will raise me up upon a rock. |
| Psa. 27:6 |
And now my head is lifted up / Above my enemies who surround me. / And I will offer in His tent / Sacrifices of shouts of joy: / I will sing and psalm to Jehovah. |
| Psa. 27:7 |
Hear, O Jehovah, when I call with my voice, / And be gracious to me and answer me. |
| Psa. 27:8 |
[When You say,] Seek My face, / To You my heart says, Your face, O Jehovah, will I seek. |
| Psa. 27:9 |
Do not hide Your face from me; / Do not turn Your servant away in [Your] anger; / You have been my help. / Do not abandon me or forsake me, / O God of my salvation. |
| Psa. 27:10 |
If my father and my mother forsake me, / Jehovah will take me up. |
| Psa. 27:11 |
Teach me, O Jehovah, Your way, / And lead me on a level path / Because of those who lie in wait for me. |
| Psa. 27:12 |
Do not give me over / To the will of my adversaries; / For false witnesses have risen up against me, / And those who breathe out threats. |
| Psa. 27:13 |
I have believed / That I would see the goodness of Jehovah / In the land of the living. |
| Psa. 27:14 |
Wait for Jehovah; / Be strong, and let your heart be encouraged. / Yes, wait for Jehovah. |
