(Psalm 27. Chant: Thomas Norris. The rest of the service from which this psalm is taken can be heard at https://youtu.be/eZR3N1CGTo0)

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then | shall I | fear? : the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then | shall I | be a- | fraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat | up my | flesh : they | stumbled | and | fell.
3 Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my | heart . be a- | fraid : and though there rose up war against me, yet will I | put my | trust in | him.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I | will re- | quire : even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the | Lord . and to | visit . his | temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall | hide me . in his | tabernacle : yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up up- | on a | rock of | stone.
6 And now shall he lift | up mine | head : above mine | ene-mies | round a- | bout me.
7 Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation, with | great | gladness : I will sing and speak | prais-es | unto . the | Lord.
8 Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I | cry . unto | thee : have | mercy . up- | on me . and | hear me.
9 My heart hath talked of thee, Seek | ye my | face : Thy | face Lord | will I | seek.
10 O hide not thou thy | face from | me : nor cast thy servant a- | way | in dis- | pleasure.
11 Thou hast | been my | succour : leave me not, neither forsake me, O | God of | my sal- | vation.
12 When my father and my | mother . for- | sake me : the | Lord | taketh . me | up.
13 Teach me thy | way, O | Lord : and lead me in the right | way be- | cause of . mine | enemies.
14 Deliver me not over into the | will . of mine | adversaries : for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and | such as | speak | wrong.
15 I should | utter-ly have | fainted : but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the | Lord in . the | land of . the | living.
16 O tarry thou the | Lord’s | leisure : be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy | trust | in the | Lord.
