Psalms 27

¹Jehovah is my light and my salvation;

²When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh,

³Though a host should encamp against me,

⁴One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:

⁵For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:

⁶And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;

⁷Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice:

⁸When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,

⁹Hide not thy face from me;

¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me,

¹¹Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;

¹²Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries:

¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah

¹⁴Wait for Jehovah:
