PSALM XXVII.

[verse 1] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 THe LORD, my light is and mine health, 〈♫〉〈♫〉for whom should I be 'ffeard? 〈♫〉〈♫〉The LORD the strength is of my life; 〈♫〉〈♫〉for whom should I have-dread? [verse 2] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 When evil-men, to eat my flesh, 〈♫〉〈♫〉against me made-battel: 〈♫〉〈♫〉my foes and m'enimies to me; 〈♫〉〈♫〉themselves, stumbled and fell.

[verse 3] If that an host, against me pitch; my heart unfearfull is: if warr shall up against me rise; I boldly trust in this. [verse 4] One-thing I asked of the LORD, the same request I shall: that in the LORDS house I may d'wel, the daies of my life all:

to view, Jehovahs pleasantnes; and seek in his Pallace.

[verse 5] For he in his pavilion, will privily-me-place, in th' evill day: he will me keep- secret, in secrecy of his tent: and upon a rock, he will exalt me-hye.

[verse 6] And now, lift up shall be mine head, above, my foes 'bout mee; and I wil offer in his tent, offrings of showting-glee: I sing wil and sing-psalm to JAH. [verse 7] My voice, Iehovah hear, when I cal; and be gracious to me and me answer

[verse 8] To thee, mine heart saith, (Thou hast said,) for my face seek doe yee: thy face, Iehovah doe I seek. [verse 9] Hide not, thy face from me; turn not thy servant back, in wrath, my succour been hast thou: ô God of mine health, leav me not neither forsake me now.

[verse 10] My father and my mother both though they should me forsake: yet would Iehovah gathering- unto himself me take. [verse 11] Iehovah teach thou me, thy way, and my conductour be, in path of righteousnes: because, of them that envie me.

[verse 12] Give not me, to my foemens will: for, lying witnesses doe up against me stand, and he that breatheth violentnes. [verse 13] (I fainted had,) except I had beleeved, for to see Iehovahs goodnes; in the land of them that living bee.

[verse 14] Expect Iehovah earnestly; confirmed be, and strong- wax let thine heart: and earnestly- think for Iehovah long.
