Psalm 26
1
A Psalm of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When evil-doers drew nigh against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
3
Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
4
One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
5
For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
6
And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing, even sing psalms to the Lord.
7
Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me.
8
My heart said to thee, I have diligently sought thy face: thy face, O Lord, I will seek.
9
Turn not thy face away from me, turn not thou away from thy servant in anger: be thou my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
10
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
11
Teach me, O Lord, in thy way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12
Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
13
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let thy heart be strengthened: yea, wait on the Lord.
