Psalms 27 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

A prayer of praise

(By David.)

1. You, Lord, are the lightthat keeps me safe.I am not afraid of anyone.You protect me,and I have no fears.

2. Brutal people may attackand try to kill me,but they will stumble.Fierce enemies may attack,but they will fall.

3. Armies may surround me,but I won't be afraid;war may break out,but I will trust you.

4. I ask only one thing, Lord:Let me live in your houseevery day of my lifeto see how wonderful you areand to pray in your temple.

5. In times of trouble,you will protect me.You will hide me in your tentand keep me safeon top of a mighty rock.

6. You will let me defeatall of my enemies.Then I will celebrate,as I enter your tentwith animal sacrificesand songs of praise.

7. Please listen when I pray!Have pity. Answer my prayer.

8. My heart tells me to pray.I am eager to see your face,

9. so don't hide from me.I am your servant,and you have helped me.Don't turn from me in anger.You alone keep me safe.Don't reject or desert me.

10. Even if my father and mothershould desert me,you will take care of me.

11. Teach me to follow, Lord,and lead me on the right pathbecause of my enemies.

12. Don't let them do to mewhat they want.People tell lies about meand make terrible threats,

13. but I know I will liveto see how kind you are.

14. Trust the Lord!Be brave and strongand trust the Lord.
