Psalms 27 {Davidic{ Yahweh is my Light and my Salvation; Whom should I fear? Yahweh is the Stronghold of my life; Of whom should I be afraid?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {Davidic{ Yahweh is my Light and my Salvation; Whom should I fear? Yahweh is the Stronghold of my life; Of whom should I be afraid? ² When evildoers drew near against me To devour my flesh, They who were to me my foes and my enemies, They stumbled and fell." ³ Though an armed force should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise up against me, In spite of this I am trusting." ⁴ One thing I have asked from Yahweh-- Only it am I seeking:That I may dwell in the House of Yahweh all the days of my life, To perceive the pleasantness of Yahweh, And to make my quest in His Temple." ⁵ For He shall seclude me in His booth in the day of evil; He shall conceal me in the secrecy of His tent; He shall safely set me high on a rock. ⁶ Even now my head is being raised high over my enemies round about me, And I will sacrifice in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing and make melody to Yahweh." ⁷ Hear my voice, O Yahweh, when I call; Be gracious to me, and answer me." ⁸ To You my heart has said, I have sought Your face; Your face, O Yahweh, am I seeking." ⁹ O do not conceal Your face from me, O do not turn aside Your servant in anger, You Who have become my Help! O do not abandon me, And do not forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation." ¹⁰ For my father and my mother, they have forsaken me, Yet Yahweh shall gather me in." ¹¹ Direct me, O Yahweh, in Your way, And guide me in a straight path on account of those lying in wait for me." ¹² O do not give me up to the soul's desire of my foes, For false witnesses have risen against me, Even malicious calumniators." ¹³ I believe that I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Be expectant toward Yahweh; Be steadfast, and let your heart be resolute. Yea, be expectant toward Yahweh."
