Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
2 When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
3 If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.
Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
4 One [thing] have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire [of him] in his temple.
One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
5 For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.
For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.
And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
7 Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.
Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
8 My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.
When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
9 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
10 For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.
Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
11 Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.
Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
13 Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living...!
I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
14 Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.
Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
