Psalms 27

1 Of David - Yahweh - [is] light my and salvation my from whom? will I be afraid Yahweh [is] [the] refuge of life my from whom? will I be in dread.

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 drew near on me - evil-doers to devour flesh my opponents my and enemies my to me they they stumbled and they fell.

When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.

3 Though it will encamp on me - a camp not it will fear heart my though it will arise on me warfare in this I [will be] trusting.

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] - I have asked from with Yahweh it I will seek to dwell I in [the] house of Yahweh all [the] days of life my to look on [the] kindness of Yahweh and to inquire in temple his.

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 he will conceal me - in refuge his in a day of trouble he will hide me in [the] hiding place of tent his on a rock he will raise up me.

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 it will rise head my above enemies my around me and I will sacrifice in tent his sacrifices of a shout of joy I will sing and I will sing praises to Yahweh.

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 O Yahweh voice my I call out and show favor to me and answer me.

Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.

8 Of you - it has said heart my seek face my face your O Yahweh I will seek.

When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.

9 May not you hide face your - from me may not you turn aside in anger servant your help my you have been may not you abandon me and may not you forsake me O God of salvation my.

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 father my and mother my they have forsaken me and Yahweh he will receive me.

Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.

11 Teach me O Yahweh way your and lead me in a path of level ground on account of enemies my.

Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.

12 May not you give me in [the] desire of opponents my for they have arisen on me witnesses of falsehood and a witness of 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 If not I had believed to look on [the] goodness of Yahweh in [the] land of living [people].

I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.

14 Wait to Yahweh be strong so may it show strength heart your and wait to Yahweh.

Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
