Psalm 27

LXX

NIV

1 The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil-doers drew nigh against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
4 One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
6 And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me.
7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart said to thee, I have diligently sought thy face: thy face, O Lord, I will seek.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Turn not thy face away from me, turn not thou away from thy servant in anger: be thou my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me, O Lord, in thy way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
11 Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
12 Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let thy heart be strengthened: yea wait on the Lord.
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
