YOUNG'S LITERAL TRANSLATION

27:1 By David. Jehovah `is' my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah `is' the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

27:2 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

27:3 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I `am' confident.

27:4 One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

27:5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

27:6 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

27:7 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.

27:8 To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

27:9 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

27:10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.

27:11 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

27:12 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

27:13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

27:14 Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
