Psalm 27 expresses confidence in God despite dangers. The psalmist finds security in God's protection and salvation. Though enemies pursue him, the psalmist's heart is not afraid because God is his light and stronghold. He seeks God's presence in His temple and desires to dwell with God all his days. The psalmist knows that God will answer his cries for help and not abandon him. He endures troubles with the assurance that God's goodness will be seen.

1. PSALM 27

2. Yahweh is my light and my
salvation; Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread?
When evildoers came upon me to
devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies,
they stumbled and fell.
Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;

3. Though war arise against me, In
spite of this I shall be confident.
One thing I have asked from
Yahweh, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of
Yahweh all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Yahweh
And to meditate in His temple.

4. For in the day of trouble He will
conceal me in His tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent
He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.
And now my head will be lifted up
above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent sacrifices
with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I
will sing praises to Yahweh.

5. Hear, O Yahweh,
when I cry with my voice, And be
gracious to me and answer me.
When You said, "Seek My face,"
my heart said to You, "Your face,
O Yahweh, I shall seek."
Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away
in anger;
You have been my help;

6. Do not abandon me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
For my father and my mother have
forsaken me,
But Yahweh will take me up.
Teach me Your way, O Yahweh,
And lead me in a level path
Because of my foes.

7. Do not deliver me over
to the desire of my adversaries,
For false witnesses
have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.

8. I would have despaired unless
I had believed that I would see
the goodness of Yahweh
In the land of the living.
Wait for Yahweh;
Be strong and let your heart
take courage;
Yes, wait for Yahweh.
