Tehillim 27 תהילים כ״ז

Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though a host should camp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

For in the day of evil he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the covert of his tent he shall hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, and I will make melody to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: be gracious to me, and answer me.

Of Thee my heart has said, Seek my face. Thy face, O Lord, I seek.

Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me up.

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.

Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

Were it not that I believed I should see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart: and wait on the Lord.
