Psalm 26 📜 📕 ↷
Vindicate Me, O LORD
1 THE Psalm of David before he was anointed. Our Lord is my illumination, and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Our Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?📜💬📚
2 Whilst the harmful approach upon me, to eat my flesh. Mine enemies that trouble me, themselves are weakened and are fallen.📜💬📚
3 If camps stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If battle rise up against me, in this will I hope.📜💬📚
4 One thing I have asked of our Lord, this will I seek for, that I may dwell in the house of our Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the pleasantness of our Lord, and visit his temple.📜💬📚
5 Because he hath hid me in his tabernacle: in the day of evils he hath protected me, in the secret of his tabernacle.📜💬📚
6 In a rock he hath exalted me: and now he hath exalted my head over mine enemies. I have gone round about, and have immolated in his tabernacle an host of jubilation: I will sing, and say a Psalm to our Lord.📜💬📚
7 Hear, o Lord, my voice, wherewith I have cried to thee: have mercy on me, and hear me.📜💬📚
8 My heart hath said to thee, my face hath sought thee out: thy face, o Lord, I will seek.📜💬📚
9 Turn not away thy face from me: decline not in wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper: forsake me not, neither despise me, o God my Saviour.📜💬📚
10 because my father and my mother have forsaken me: but our Lord hath taken me.📜💬📚
11 Give me a law, o Lord, in thy way: and direct me in the right path, because of mine enemies.📜💬📚
12 Deliver me not into the souls of them that trouble me: because unjust witnesses have risen up against me: and iniquity hath lied to it-self.📜💬📚
13 I believe to see the good things of our Lord, in the land of the living.📜💬📚
14 Expect our Lord, do manfully: and let thy heart take courage, and expect thou our Lord.📜💬📚
