Psalm 27 Prayed
Finding
delight in Jesus
during
spiritual struggles
O Lord Jesus, you are my light
and my salvation—
whom
shall I fear?
You are the stronghold of my
life—
of
whom shall I be afraid?
When the Evil One advances
against me
to
devour my flesh,
when my spiritual enemies and
my foes attack me,
they
will stumble and fall.
Though a demonic legion besiege
me,
my
heart will not fear;
I will remain in my right mind,
and
they will be afraid;
though spiritual warfare
break out against me,
even
then will I be confident.
One thing I ask of you, O Lord
Jesus,
this
is what I seek:
that I may dwell in your house,
O Lord,
all
the days of my life,
to gaze upon your beauty
and
to seek you in your temple.
Let me see the light of the
gospel;
which
is your glory, O Christ,
for
you are the image of God.
O Father God, make your light
shine in my heart,
to
give me the light of the knowledge
of
the glory of God in the face of Christ.
For in the day of trouble
you
will keep me safe in your dwelling;
you will hide me in the shelter
of your tabernacle
and
set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted
above
the spiritual enemies who surround me;
In your tabernacle will I
sacrifice
with
shouts of joy;
I
will sing and make music to you, O Lord.
Sometimes you seem so distant,
my
prayers dry up, and I feel far from you.
Hear my voice when I call, O
Lord;
be
merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of you, “Seek his
face!”
Your
face, Lord Jesus, I will seek.
Do not hide your face from me,
do
not turn your servant away in anger;
you
have been my helper.
When I doubt and want to cry
out;
“Do
not reject me or forsake me,”,
Remind me that you have
promised me this:
“Never will I leave you;
never
will I forsake you.”
For
you are God my Saviour.
Though my father and mother
forsake me,
you
will receive me.
Teach me your way, O Lord;
lead
me in a straight path
because
of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the
desire
of
my spiritual foes,
for the false witnesses of my
doubts
rise
up against me, breathing out violence.
Nevertheless, I can still be
confident of this:
I
will see the goodness of the Lord
in
the land of the living.
I will wait for you, O Lord.
Make
me strong and help me take heart.
I will wait for you,
O Lord.
