Psalm 27
NASB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995International Standard Version
1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?1The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?
2When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.2When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors come near me to devour my flesh, they stumble and fall.
3Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.3If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear. If a war is launched against me, I will even trust in that situation.
4One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: 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 meditate in His temple.4I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I really seek: that I may remain in the LORD's Temple all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD; and to inquire in his Temple.
5For 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.5For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of evil; He will hide me in a secluded chamber within his tent; He will place me on a high rock.
6And 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 the LORD.6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies, even those who surround me. I will sacrifice in his tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melodies to the LORD.
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.7Hear my voice, LORD, when I cry out! Be gracious to me and answer me.
8When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O LORD, I shall seek."8My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek.
9Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation!9Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation.
10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up.10Though my father and my mother abandoned me, the LORD gathers me up.
11Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes.11Teach me your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
12Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.12Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence.
13I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.13I believe that I will see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living.
14Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.14Wait on the LORD. Be courageous, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait on the LORD!
