in [Ps. 31:19] the presence of my enemies;

my Ps. 16:5 cup overflows.
6 Surely 1 goodness and mercy 2 shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall Ps. 27:4 dwell 3 in the house of the Lord
Ps. 21:4 forever. 4

psalm 27
1 The Lord is my Isa. 60:20; Mic. 7:8; [Ps. 84:11] light and my Ps. 118:14; Ex. 15:2; Isa. 12:2; 62:11 salvation;
See Ps. 23:4 whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold 1 of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail me
to Ps. 14:4 eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Ps. 3:6 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet 1 I will be confident.
4 [Ps. 26:8; 84:1, 2] One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may Ps. 23:6; 65:4; [Luke 2:37] dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon Ps. 90:17 the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire 1 in his temple.
5 For he will Ps. 31:20; [Ps. 91:1; Job 5:21; Isa. 4:6] hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will Ps. 40:2 lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my Ps. 3:3 head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of [Num. 10:10] joy;
Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16 I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
7 Ps. 30:10 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!

My heart says to you,
“Your face, Lord, do I seek.” 2
9 Ps. 69:17; 102:2; 143:7 Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
See Ps. 24:5 O God of my salvation!
10 For [Isa. 49:15; 63:16] my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will [Isa. 40:11] take me in.
11 See Ps. 25:4 Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on [Ps. 5:8] a level path
because of my enemies.
12 Ps. 41:2 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for Ps. 35:11; [1 Kgs. 21:13; Matt. 26:59, 60; Mark 14:55, 56] false witnesses have risen against me,
and they Acts 9:1 breathe out violence.

in Ps. 52:5; 116:9; 142:5; Job 28:13 the land of the living!
