Sermon Outline:

Psalms 27
¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
² When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
³ Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
⁴ One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.
⁵ 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 lift me high upon a rock.
⁶ And now my head shall be 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.
⁷ Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
⁸ You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you,
“Your face, LORD, do I seek.”
⁹ 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,
O God of my salvation!
¹⁰ For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in.
¹¹ Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
¹² Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.
¹³ I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!
¹⁴ Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
