Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation ; whom then shall I fear  *

the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle *

yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone.

And now shall he lift up mine head *

above mine enemies round about me.

Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness *

I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.

Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry unto thee *

have mercy upon me, and hear me.

My heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my face *

Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

O hide not thou thy face from me *

nor cast thy servant away in displeasure.

Thou hast been my succour *

leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me *

the Lord taketh me up.

Teach me thy way, O Lord *

and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.
