27:1  1 David maketh this Psalm being delivered from great perils, as appeareth by the praises and thanksgiving annexed:  6 Wherein we may see the constant faith of David against the assaults of all his enemies. 7 And also the end wherefore he desireth to live and to be delivered, only to worship God in his Congregation. A Psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
27:2  When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
27:3  Though an host pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraid: though war be raised against me, I will trust in this.
27:4  One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will require, even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to visit his Temple.
27:5  For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his Tabernacle: in the secret place of his pavilion shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock.
27:6  And now shall he lift up mine head above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing and praise the Lord.
27:7  Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry: have mercy also upon me and hear me.
27:8  When thou saidest, Seek ye my face, mine heart answered unto thee, O Lord, I will seek thy face.
27:9  Hide not therefore thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure: thou hast been my succor, leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
27:10  Though my father and my mother should forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me up.
27:11  Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
27:12  Give me not unto the lust of mine adversaries: for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak cruelly.
27:13  I should have fainted, except I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
27:14  Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
