[00:00:04] Psalm chapter 27, A Psalm of David The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the refuge and fortress of my life. Whom shall I dread? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
[00:00:33] Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war arise against me, even in this I am confident. One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord, in His presence, all the days of my life,
[00:00:57] to gaze upon the beauty, the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur of the Lord, and to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble, He will hide me in His shelter. In the secret place of His tent, He will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me.
[00:01:27] In His tent, I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud. Be gracious and compassionate to me, and answer me. When You said,
[00:01:50] Seek my face in prayer, require my presence as Your greatest need, my heart said to You, Your face, O Lord, I will seek, on the authority of Your word. Do not hide Your face from me. Do not turn Your servant away in anger.
[00:02:11] You have been my help. Do not abandon me, nor leave me, O God of my salvation. Although my father and my mother have abandoned me, yet the Lord will take me up, adopt me as His child. Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path,
[00:02:36] because of my enemies who lie in wait. Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have come against me. They breathe out violence. I would have despaired, had I not believed, that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
[00:03:01] Wait for and confidently expect the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord. Thank you for tuning in to the The Audio Bible today. This has been Psalm chapter 27 from the Word of God.
