27 10 Who intend mischief; and whose right-hand is full of bribes. 11 But, as I walk in mine innocence; deliver me, and have mercy on me. 12 When my foot shall stand on even ground; I will praise JEHOVAH in the assemblies. PSALM XXVII. JEHOVAH is my light, and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? JEHOVAH is the safe-guard of my life; whom then shall I dread? 2 When the wicked, those who persecuted me and were mine enemies, advanced to devour my flesh; they themselves stumbled and fell back. ; 3 Should an host of men encamp about me, yet would not mine heart be afraid and should war be waged against me, even then would I place my trust in him. 4 One thing I desire of JEHOVAH, and this I earnestly request; that I may dwell in the house of JEHOVAH, all the days of my life, to contemplate the gracious countenance of JEHOVAH, and to search for an abidance in his sanctuary: 5 For, in the time of distress, he may hide me in his pavilion; even in his interior tabernacle he may hide me, and exait me upon an inaccessible rock. 6 Even now, he may raise mine head above all my surrounding enemies therefore, I will offer, in his tabernacle, sacrifices of praise; I will sing and chant praises unto JEHOVAH. 7 Hearken unto my voice, o JEHOVAH! when I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me. 8 When thou saidst," Seck my face;" mine heart replied,-Thy countenance, O JEHOVAH! will I seek. 9 Hide not thy countenance from me; neither turn thy servant from thee in thy displeasure. 10 Thou art my refuge, abandon me not; neither forsake me, O GOD of my salvation! 11 Though my father and my mother should forsake me; nevertheless, let JEHOVAH take me up. 12 Teach me thy way, O JEHOVAH ! and guide me in the right path, because of mine enemies. 13 Deliver 13 Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses, and those who threaten violence, are risen against me. 14 I already should have fainted, had I not trusted to see the favour of JEHOVAH in the land of the living. 15 Oh! wait, therefore, for the help of JEHOVAH be firm and courageous; and place thy trust in JEHOVAH. PSALM XXVIII. UNTO thee, O JEHOVAH! my rock! do I call; answer thou me: lest, if thou be silent, I become like those who go down to the pit. 2 Hear my supplications, when I cry unto thee; when I raise mine hands toward thy sanctuary. 3 Oh! remove me not, neither destroy me with idolaters; with those who speak friendly with their neighbours, while mischief is in their hearts. 4 Repay such according to their works; and according to their evil dispositions: 5 Repay them according to the works of their hands; recompense them according to their deserts. 6 Because they regard not the works of JEHOVAH, neither the operation of his hands; therefore, he will overthrow them, and never re-establish them. 7 Praised be JEHOVAH; who heareth my supplications. 8 JEHOVAH is my strength and my shield; my heart trusteth in him: when I am helped by him, my heart rejoiceth,and I sing his praise. 9 JEHOVAH is the strength of his people; and the safe-guard of his anointed. 10 Oh! save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; feed them, and exalt them for ever. PSALM XXIX. ASCRIBE unto JEHOVAH, уe great ones; ascribe unto JEHOVAH glory and power: 2 Ascribe unto JEHOVAH the honour due unto his name; and worship him with holy reverence. 3 The voice of JEHOVAH, the GOD of glory, is upon the waters; JEHOVAH thundereth over the great waters. 4 The voice of JEHOVAH is full of power; the voice of JEHOVAH is full of majesty : 5 The voice of JEHOVAH shivereth the cedars; JEHOVAH shivereth the cedars of Lebanon: 6 He maketh Lebanon to skip like a calf; and Sirion like a young rhinoceros. 7 The voice of JEHOVAH Scattereth lightnings; the voice of JEHOVAH shaketh the wilderness: JEHOVAH shaketh even the wilderness of Kadesh. 8 The voice of JEHOVAH shaketh the oaks, and strippeth the trees of the forest: while, in his sanctuary, every thing speaketh his glory. 9 JEHOVAH presideth over the storm; JEHOVAH will remain king for ever. 10 JEHOVAH will give power to his people; JEHOVAH will bless his people with peace. PSALM XXX. I WILL extol thee, O JEHOVAH! because thou hast exalted me; and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me. |
