The King James Version Bible

Psalms 27:4-9

  1. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

  2. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

  3. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

  4. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

  5. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

  6. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
