Daily Bible GNT July 4 Verses

A Prayer of Praise

Psalm 27 The LORD is my light and my salvation;

I will fear no one.

The LORD protects me from all danger;

I will never be afraid.

²When evil people attack me and try to kill me,

they stumble and fall.

³Even if a whole army surrounds me,

I will not be afraid;

even if enemies attack me,

I will still trust God.

⁴I have Tsked the LORD for one thing;

one thing only do I want:

to live in the LORD's house all my life,

to marvel there at his goodness,

and to ask for his guidance.

⁵In times of trouble he will shelter me;

he will keep me safe in his Temple

and make me secure on a high rock.

⁶So I will triumph over my enemies around me.

With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple;

I will sing, I will praise the LORD.

⁷Hear me, LORD, when I call to you!

Be merciful and answer me!

⁸When you said, "Come worship me,"

I answered, "I will come, LORD."

⁹

Don't hide yourself from me!

Don't be angry with me;

don't turn your servant away.

You have been my help;

don't leave me, don't abandon me,

O God, my savior.

¹⁰My father and mother may abandon me,

but the LORD will take care of me.

¹¹Teach me, LORD, what you want me to do,

and lead me along a safe path,

because I have many enemies.

¹²Don't abandon me to my enemies,

who attack me with lies and threats.

¹³I know that I will live to see

the LORD's goodness in this present life.

¹⁴Trust in the LORD.

Have faith, do not despair.

Trust in the LORD.
