Psalms 27

You, Heavenly Father, fill my mind and lift my thoughts far above my enemies, and I offered to you sacrifices with shouts of joy. I sing and make melody to you, Father, Son and Holy ghost.

You hear me, o Lord, when I cry to you. You are gracious and you answer me. You encourage me to seek your face. You do not hide from me, and you do not turn me away in anger. Instead, you seek me and draw me to you. You help me. You will never cast me off or forsake me.

At some point my parents have to leave me, but you Lord and father, never leave me. Instead you take me in and adopt me. You teach me your ways, o Lord, and you lead me on a level path.

I am not confused or mislead by my adversaries, or by false witnesses, or by those who breathe out violence. I believe you, Lord, and I look upon your goodness in the land of life. I wait for you, Lord. I am strong in Christ and my heart is courageous.
