27:1  Of David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strong defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
27:2  When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
27:3  Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In this I trust.
27:4  One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Yahweh And to inquire in His temple.
27:5  For in the day of calamity He will conceal me in His shelter; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.
27:6  And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with loud shouts of joy; I will sing, and I will sing praises to Yahweh.
27:7  Hear, O Yahweh, when I call with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.
27:8  On Your behalf my heart says, “Seek My face,” “Your face, O Yahweh, I shall seek.”
27:9  Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your slave away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me and do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!
27:10  For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But Yahweh will take me up.
27:11  Instruct me in Your way, O Yahweh, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes.
27:12  Do not give me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.
27:13  I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh In the land of the living.
27:14  Hope in Yahweh; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Hope in Yahweh.
