A Psalm of David. |
Psalm 27:1-14 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Lord is my Light & my Salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. O Whom shall I be afraid? |
[Luke 1:78-79 Through the tender mercy of our God; [by which] the Day Spring from on high, has visited us, to give Light to [those who] sit in darkness & to guide our feet into the way of peace, [of those who sit] in the Shadow of Death.] |
*When the wicked, even [My] enemies & My foes came upon Me to [devour] My flesh; they stumbled & fell. [Matthew 26:2-4 You know that after 2 days, is the feast of the Passover & the Son of Man is betrayed to be crucified. Then the chief priests, scribes & the elders of the people assembled together to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas & consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.] |
[Although an army] should encamp against me & the war should rise [up] against me, my heart shall not [be fearful,] I will be confident in this. One thing I have desired [from] the Lord, [is] that I may dwell in the [Lord’s] house all the days of my life, to [see] the beauty of the Lord & to [inquire] in His temple. |
For He shall [put] me upon a rock & hide me in His pavilion, in the time of trouble, in the secret [place] of His tabernacle, He shall hide me. |
[Psalm 31:19-20 Oh, how great is Your goodness, [that] You have [fashioned] & laid up for [those who] fear, [respect] & trust in You before the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret of Your presence from the pride of man. You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion, from the [quarreling mouths.] |
And now, [my] head shall be [elevated] above [my] enemies [around] me. Therefore, I will sing praises to the Lord & offer sacrifices [with] joy. O Lord, hear when I cry [out] with my voice & answer me & also have mercy upon me. |
When You said, Seek you my face. My heart said to You, I will seek Your face, Lord. [Don't] hide your face far from me. |
You have been my help. [Don't] put Your servant away in anger & [don't] leave me, [nor] abandon] me, O God of my Salvation. When my father & mother [forget] me, then the Lord will [pick] me up. |
[Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her [nursing] child, that she [wouldn't] have compassion on the son of her womb? [Yes,] they may forget, [still] I will not forget You.] |
Teach me Your way, O Lord & lead me in a [level] path, because of [my] enemies. * [Don't] deliver Me to the will of [My] enemies: for false witnesses [have] risen up against Me & breathe out cruelty. |
[Matthew 26:59-61 Now, the chief priests, elders & all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put HIm to death. But found none. [Yet,] though many false witnesses came, [still] they found none. At last, 2 false witnesses came & said, This Fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God & to build it in three days.] |
I [would have] fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living. Be of good courage & wait on the Lord & He shall strengthen your heart. I say, Wait on the Lord. |
[Revelation 3:5 He [who] overcomes, shall be clothed in white raiment & I will not blot out his name [from] the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father & before His Angels.] |
