ULT PSA Chapter 27

Of David

Yahweh is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

Yahweh is the refuge of my life;

whom will I dread?

2 When the ones doing evil advance against me to devour my flesh,

my enemies and the ones being hostile to me, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army encamps against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war arises against me,

in this I will be confident.

4 One, thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I will seek:

that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,

to look upon the beauty of Yahweh

and to inquire in his temple.

5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his hut;

he will hide me in the hiding-place of his tent.

He will lift me high upon a rock.

6 And now my head will be lifted up above the ones being hostile to me, who are all around me,

and I will sacrifice in his tent sacrifices of a shout of joy.

I will sing and make music to Yahweh!

7 Hear, Yahweh, my voice, when I cry out,

and be gracious to me, and answer me.

8 “Seek my face.” My heart said to you,

“Your face, Yahweh, I will seek.”

9 Do not hide your face from me;

do not turn your servant away in anger.

You have been my help.

Do not abandon me nor leave me, God of my salvation.

10 For my father and my mother have left me,

but Yahweh will care for me.

11 Teach me your way, Yahweh,

and lead me on a level path

because of my enemies.

12 Do not give me up to the desire of my adversaries,

for false witnesses have risen against me,

and a witness of violence.

13 Unless I had believed that I would look on the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

14 Wait on Yahweh.

Be strong, and let your heart be courageous,

and wait on Yahweh.
