Psalm 26

Select Translation

1 A Psalm of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Savior; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers 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 my 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 Savior, 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.
