Moff by section PSA 27:1

Psalm 27

A song of David.

27 The Eternal is my light and aid;

whom shall I fear?

The Eternal is the fortress of my life;

whom shall I dread?

2 When evil men assail me

with their slanders,

’tis they, my enemies and foes,

who stumble to their fall.

3 Even though an army were arrayed against me,

my heart would not be afraid;

though war were waged on me,

still would I be confident.

4 One thing alone I ask from the Eternal,

one thing I desire,

a vision of the Eternal’s goodness

in the temple at the morning-hour.

5 For he hides me within his own pavilion

on the day of trouble,

he shelters me within his shrine,

he sets me safe upon a rock.

6 He will now lift me up to victory,

high over all my foes around;

and I will sacrifice within his shrine,

and make my joy resound.

7 O thou Eternal, listen to my cry,

be gracious to me, answer me.

8 ’Tis my heart calling, “Thy face I do seek.”

9 O thou Eternal, hide not thy face from me,

turn not thy servant away in anger;

help me, do not abandon me,

forsake me not, O God my saviour.

10 (When my father and mother forsake me,

the Eternal will take care of me.)

11 Teach me what is thy way, O thou Eternal,

and lead me by a level road;

let not my foes thwart me;

12 leave me not to the fury of my foes,

for false witnesses have started up against me,

breathing injury to me.

13 I do believe I shall yet see

the Eternal good to me, in the land of the living

14 Wait for the Eternal; be strong, my soul be brave;

yes, wait for the Eternal.
