Psalms 27 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 27 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ The LORD is my 1light and my 2salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the [a]3defense of my life;
4Whom shall I dread? - When evildoers came upon me to 5devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they 6stumbled and fell. - Though a 7host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I [b]shall be 8confident. - ¶ 9One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:
That I may 10dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold 11the [c]beauty of the LORD
And to [d]12meditate in His temple. - For in the 13day of trouble He will 14conceal me in His [e]tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will 15hide me;
He will 16lift me up on a rock. - And now 17my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent 18sacrifices [f]with shouts of joy;
I will 19sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. - ¶ 20Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and 21answer me. - When You said, “22Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O LORD, 23I shall seek.” - 24Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in 25anger;
You have been 26my help;
27Do not abandon me nor 28forsake me,
O God of my salvation! - [g]For my father and 29my mother have forsaken me,
But 30the LORD will take me up. - ¶ 31Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a 32level path
Because of [h]my foes. - Do not deliver me over to the [i]33desire of my adversaries,
For 34false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as 35breathe out violence. - [j]I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the 36goodness of the LORD
In the 37land of the living. - 38Wait for the LORD;
Be 39strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.
