HURRY UP, DON’T MAKE ME WAIT Psalm 27:1-14
2
1 The L ORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The L ORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3
3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. 4 One thing I ask from the L ORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the L ORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the L ORD and to seek him in his temple.
4
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. 6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the L ORD. with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the L ORD.
5
7 Hear my voice when I call, L ORD ; be merciful to me and answer me. 8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, L ORD, I will seek. 9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.
6
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. 11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. 12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
7
13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the L ORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait for the L ORD ; be strong and take heart and wait for the L ORD.
