Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

The future proves the past.

 

Psalm 27:

Triumphant Song of Confidence

A Psalm of David

 

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;

of whom shall I be afraid?

 

2 When evildoers assail me,

uttering slanders against me,

my adversaries and foes,

they shall stumble and fall.

 

3 Though a host encamp against me,

my heart shall not fear;

though war arise against me,

yet I will be confident.

 

4 One thing have I asked 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 will hide me in his shelter

in the day of trouble;

he will conceal me under the cover of his tent,

he will set me high upon a rock.

 

6 And now my head shall be lifted up

above my enemies round about me;

and I will offer in his tent

sacrifices with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

 

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud,

be gracious to me and answer me!

8 Thou hast said, “Seek ye my face.”

My heart says to thee,

“Thy face, Lord, do I seek.”

9 Hide not thy face from me.

 

Turn not thy servant away in anger,

thou who hast been my help.

Cast me not off, forsake me not,

O God of my salvation!

10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,

but the Lord will take me up.

 

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord;

and lead me on a level path

because of my enemies.

12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;

for false witnesses have risen against me,

and they breathe out violence.

13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living!

14 Wait for the Lord;

be strong, and let your heart take courage;

yea, wait for the Lord!
