The Bible
Psalm 27
By David.
1ForeverOne
2When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4One thing I have asked of ForeverOne
5For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to ForeverOne
7Hear, ForeverOne
8When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, ForeverOne
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then ForeverOne
11Teach me your way, ForeverOne
12Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, those who breathe out cruelty.
13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of ForeverOne
14Wait for ForeverOne
