Psalms 27

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Of David] Yahweh is my light and my salvation, whom should I fear? Yahweh is the fortress of my life,whom should I dread?	1 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?
2 When the wicked advance against me to eat me up, they, my opponents, my enemies, are the oneswho stumble and fal .	2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army pitch camp against me, my heart wil not fear, though war break out against me, mytrust wil never be shaken.	3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of Yahweh, one thing I seek: to dwel in Yahweh's house all the days of my life, toenjoy the sweetness of Yahweh, to seek out his temple.	4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; 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 inquire in his temple.
5 For he hides me away under his roof on the day of evil, he folds me in the recesses of his tent, setsme high on a rock.	5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 Now my head is held high above the enemies who surround me; in his tent I wil offer sacrifices ofacclaim. I wil sing, I wil make music for Yahweh.	6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Yahweh, hear my voice as I cry, pity me, answer me!	7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 Of you my heart has said, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Yahweh, I seek;	8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 do not turn away from me. Do not thrust aside your servant in anger, without you I am helpless. Neverleave me, never forsake me, God, my Saviour.	9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, Yahweh wil gather me up.	10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Yahweh, teach me your way, lead me on the path of integrity because of my enemies;	11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 do not abandon me to the wil of my foes -- false witnesses have risen against me, and are breathingout violence.	12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 This I believe: I shal see the goodness of Yahweh, in the land of the living.	13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Put your hope in Yahweh, be strong, let your heart be bold, put your hope in Yahweh.	14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
