Selected Psalms,
No. 321.          PSALM 27.
1 The Lordis mylghtand msalvation;
whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength
of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies
and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host should encamp against
me, my heart shall not fear; thouh war
should rise against me, in this will I be
confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord,
that will I stek after; 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 inquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall
bide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his
tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set
me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up
above mine enemies round about me;
therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will
sing praises unto the Lord.
7 Hear,O Lord,when I crywith my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

and done this evil in thy sight: that thou
mightest be justified when thou speakest,
ad be clear when thou judgest.

clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than
