27
A Psalm of Fearless Trust in God.
A Psalm of David.
1 The Loʀᴅ is my APs 18:28; Is 60:20; Mic 7:8light and my BEx 15:2; Ps 62:7; 118:14; Is 33:2; Jon 2:9salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Loʀᴅ is the 1Or refugeCPs 28:8defense of my life;
DPs 118:6Whom shall I dread?
2 When evildoers came upon me to APs 14:4devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they BPs 9:3stumbled and fell.
3 Though a APs 3:6host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I 1Lit am confidentshall be BJob 4:6confident.
 
4 APs 26:8One thing I have asked from the Loʀᴅ, that I shall seek:
That I may BPs 23:6dwell in the house of the Loʀᴅ all the days of my life,
To behold CPs 90:17the 1Lit delightfulnessbeauty of the Loʀᴅ
And to 2Lit inquireDPs 18:6meditate in His temple.
5 For in the APs 50:15day of trouble He will BPs 31:20conceal me in His 1Or sheltertabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will CPs 17:8hide me;
He will DPs 40:2lift me up on a rock.
6 And now APs 3:3my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent BPs 107:22sacrifices 1Lit of shoutswith shouts of joy;
I will CPs 13:6sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Loʀᴅ.
 
7 APs 4:3; 61:1Hear, O Loʀᴅ, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and BPs 13:3answer me.
8 When You said, “APs 105:4; Amos 5:6Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Loʀᴅ, BPs 34:4I shall seek.”
9 APs 69:17Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in BPs 6:1anger;
You have been CPs 40:17my help;
DPs 94:14Do not abandon me nor EPs 37:28forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
10 1Or If my father...forsake me, Then the LoʀᴅFor my father and AIs 49:15my mother have forsaken me,
But BIs 40:11the Loʀᴅ will take me up.
 
11 APs 25:4; 86:11Teach me Your way, O Loʀᴅ,
And lead me in a BPs 5:8; 26:12level path
Because of 1Or those who lie in wait for memy foes.
12 Do not deliver me over to the 1Lit soulAPs 41:2desire of my adversaries,
For BDeut 19:18; Ps 35:11; Matt 26:60false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as CActs 9:1breathe out violence.
13 1Or Surely I believedI would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the APs 31:19goodness of the Loʀᴅ
In the BJob 28:13; Ps 52:5; 116:9; 142:5; Is 38:11; Jer 11:19; Ezek 26:20land of the living.
14 APs 25:3; 37:34; 40:1; 62:5; 130:5; Prov 20:22; Is 25:9Wait for the Loʀᴅ;
Be BPs 31:24strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Loʀᴅ.
