27:1 <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

27:2 When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.

27:3 Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

27:4 One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

27:5 For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

27:6 And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

27:7 O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.

27:8 When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.

27:9 Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

27:10 When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.

27:11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.

27:12 Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.

27:13 I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.

27:14 Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
