Psalm 27
NET Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1By David. The LORD delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The LORD protects my life! I am afraid of no one! 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?
2When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall. 2When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
3Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident. 3Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.
4I have asked the LORD for one thing--this is what I desire! I want to live in the LORD's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the LORD and contemplate in his temple. 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.
5He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit. 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.
6Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the LORD! 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.
7Hear me, O LORD, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me! 7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.
8My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O LORD. 8When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O LORD, I shall seek."
9Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me! 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!
10Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the LORD would take me in. 10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up.
11Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me! 11Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes.
12Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me. 12Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.
13Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the LORD's favor in the land of the living? 13I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
14Rely on the LORD! Be strong and confident! Rely on the LORD! 14Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
