Psalms 27:3

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my ^alight and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The ^bLord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked came against me
To ^aeat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.

3 ^aThough an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

4 ^aOne thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may ^bdwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the¹ beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.

5 For ^ain the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall ^bset me high upon a rock.

6 And now ^amy head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of¹ joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

9 ^aDo not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.

10 ^aWhen my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

11 ^aTeach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
