Psalm 26

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers drew near against me to devour my flesh, mine oppressors and mine enemies, they themselves grew weak and fell. Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise up against me, in Him will I hope. One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I seek after: 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 visit His holy temple. For He hid me in His dwelling in the day of mine afflictions; He sheltered me in the secret place of His tabernacle; He lifted me up upon a rock. And now, behold, He raised up my head above mine enemies round about me. I went about and offered in His tabernacle a sacrifice of praise and exultation; I will sing and chant unto the Lord. Hearken, O Lord, unto my voice wherewith I cried; have mercy on me and hear me. My heart said unto Thee: I will seek the Lord. My face hath sought Thee; Thy face, O Lord, will I seek. Turn not Thy face away from me and turn not away from Thy servant in anger. Be Thou my helper; cast me not away and forsake me not, O God my Savior. For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord hath taken me up. Give me Thy law, O Lord, in Thy way, and guide me in a right path because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the souls of them that afflict me, for unjust witnesses are risen up against me and unrighteousness hath lied to itself. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be courageous, and let thy heart be strengthened; yea, wait on the Lord.
