Psalms 27:2-12

Psalms 27:2-12

[2] When the wicked,  even mine enemies  and my foes,  came  upon me to eat up  my flesh,  they stumbled  and fell.  [3] Though an host  should encamp  against me, my heart  shall not fear:  though war  should rise  against me, in this will I be confident.  [4] 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 enquire  in his temple.  [5] For in the time  of trouble  he shall hide  me in his pavilion:  in the secret  of his tabernacle  shall he hide  me; he shall set me up  upon a rock.  [6] And now shall mine head  be lifted up  above mine enemies  round about  me: therefore will I offer  in his tabernacle  sacrifices  of joy;  I will sing,  yea, I will sing praises  unto the LORD.  [7] Hear,  O LORD,  when I cry  with my voice:  have mercy  also upon me, and answer  [8] When thou saidst, Seek  ye my face;  my heart  said  unto thee, Thy face,  LORD,  will I seek.  [9] Hide  not thy face  not thy servant  away  in anger:  thou hast been my help;  leave  me not, neither forsake  me, O God  of my salvation.  [10] When my father  and my mother  forsake  me, then the LORD  will take me up.  [11] Teach  me thy way,  O LORD,  and lead  me in a plain  path,  because of mine enemies.  [12] Deliver  me not over unto the will  of mine enemies:  for false  witnesses  are risen up  against me, and such as breathe out  cruelty.
