Beauty of the Lord.

Psalm 27:1-14
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
          Whom shall I fear?
           The LORD is the strength of my life;
           Of whom shall I be afraid?
  2 When the wicked came against me
          To eat up my flesh,
           My enemies and foes,
           They stumbled and fell.
  3 Though an army may encamp against me,
          My heart shall not fear;
           Though war may rise against me,
           In this I will be confident.
 4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
          That will I seek:
           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 hide me in His pavilion;
           In the secret place of His tabernacle 
          He shall hide me;
           He shall set me high upon a rock. 
            6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; 
         Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; 
          I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
          Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.  
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
          My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”  
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
          Do not turn Your servant away in anger; 
          You have been my help;
          Do not leave me nor forsake me, 
          O God of my salvation.  10 When my father and my mother forsake me, 
         Then the LORD will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
          And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.  
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
          For false witnesses have risen against me,
           And such as breathe out violence.  
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
          That I would see the goodness of the LORD 
          In the land of the living.             
14 Wait on the LORD;          
Be of good courage,           
And He shall strengthen your heart;           
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
