PSAL. XXVII.

[1]

The Lords my light, & saving health

who shal make me dismaid?
My lifes strength is the Lord, of whom
then shal I be afraid?

2

When as mine enemies and foes,

most wicked persons all,
To eat my flesh against me rose,
they stumbled and did fal.

3

Against me though an host encamp

my heart yet fearlesse is;
Though war against me rise, I wil
be confident in this.

4

One thing I of the Lord desir'd,

and wil seek to obtain
That all dayes of my life I may
within Gods house remain.
That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may reverently enquire.

5

For he, in his pavilion, shal

me hide in evil dayes;
In secreet of his tent me hide,
and on a rock me raise.

6

And now, ev'n at this present time

mine head shal lifted be
Above all those that be my foes,
and round encompasse me:
Therefore unto his tabernacle
I'le sacrifices bring
Of joyfulnesse, I'le sing, yea, I
to God will praises sing.

7

O Lord, give ear unto my voice,

when I do cry to thee:
Upon me also mercy have,
and do thou answer me.

8

When thou didst say, seek ye my face

then unto thee reply
Thus did my heart, above all things
thy face, Lord, seek will I.

9

Far from me hide not thou thy face

put not away from thee
Thy servant in thy wrath; thou hast
an helper been to me:
O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor for sake.

10

Tho me my parents both should leave,

the Lord will me up take.

11

O Lord, instruct me in thy way,

to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.

12

Give me not to mine enemies wil:

for witnesses, that lie,
Against me risen are, and such
as breath out crueltie.

13

I fainted had, unlesse that I

believed had, to see
The Lords own goodnesse in the land
of them that living be.

14

Wait on the Lord: & be thou strong,

and he shall strength afford
Unto thine heart: yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord.
