1 Samuel, Chapter
18, Verse 12
Saul then began to fear David because the LORD was with him but had turned away from
Saul.
To this David writes
psalm 27:
The LORD
is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The LORD is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid? When
evildoers come at me to devour my flesh, these my enemies and foes themselves
stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart does not fear; though
war be waged against me, even then do I trust.
One thing I ask of the LORD; this I seek: to dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to gaze on
the LORD’s beauty, to visit his temple. For
God will hide me in his shelter in time of trouble, He will conceal me in the
cover of his tent; and set me high upon a rock. Even now my head is held high above
my enemies on every side! I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of
joy; I will sing and chant praise to the LORD.
Hear my voice, LORD, when I call; have
mercy on me and answer me. “Come,” says my heart, “seek his face”; your face, LORD, do I seek! Do not hide your face from me; do
not repel your servant in anger. You are my salvation; do not cast me off; do
not forsake me, God my savior! Even if my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will take me in.
LORD, show me your way; lead me on a level path because of my
enemies. Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes; malicious and lying
witnesses have risen against me. I believe I shall see the LORD’s goodness in the land of the living. Wait
for the LORD, take courage; be
stouthearted, wait for the LORD!
