026:008 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where
your glory dwells.
026:009 Don't gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
026:010 in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
026:011 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me,
and be merciful to me.
026:012 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I
will bless Yahweh.
027:001 <<By David.>> Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid?
027:002 When evil-doers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries
and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
027:003 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
027:004 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after,
that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,
to see Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
027:005 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
In the covert of his tent he will hide me. He will lift me
up on a rock.
027:006 Now 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 Yahweh.
027:007 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me,
and answer me.
027:008 When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to you, "I will
seek your face, Yahweh."
027:009 Don't hide your face from me. Don't put your servant away in anger.
You have been my help. Don't abandon me, neither forsake me,
God of my salvation.
027:010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will
take me up.
027:011 Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path,
because of my enemies.
027:012 Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false
witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
027:013 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh
in the land of the living.
027:014 Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage.
Yes, wait for Yahweh.
028:001 <<By David.>> To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don't be
deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become
like those who go down into the pit.
028:002 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift
up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
028:003 Don't draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of
iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief
is in their hearts.
028:004 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of
their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.
