  1. 27.1 Or refuge

For he will hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
    he will set me high on a rock.(A)

Now my head is lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.(B)

Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!(C)
“Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, do I seek.(D)
    Do not hide your face from me.

Do not turn your servant away in anger,
    you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off; do not forsake me,
    O God of my salvation!(E)
10 If my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will take me up.(F)

11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on a level path
    because of my enemies.(G)
12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
    for false witnesses have risen against me,
    and they are breathing out violence.(H)

13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.(I)
