My Head Is Lifted Up Above My Enemies
The
LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the
stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When
evildoers assail me to devour my flesh – my adversaries and foes – they shall
stumble and fall.
Though
an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.
One
thing I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the
LORD after all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to
inquire in his temple.
For
he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under
the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.
Now
my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his
tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and
make melody to the LORD.
Hear,
O LORD, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! “Come,” my heart
says, “seek his face!” Your face, LORD, do I seek. Do not hide your face from me.
Do
not turn your servant away in anger, you who have been my help. Do not cast me off, do not forsake me, O God of my salvation! If my father
and mother forsake me, the LORD will take me up.
Teach
me your way; O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Do not
give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen
against me, and they are breathing our violence.
I
believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the
LORD!
Psalm 27:1-14
When
you pray among your enemies, you will find that they either leave, or become
your friends. Meditate on Psalm 27. If you are facing enemies, God will use His
Word to help you.
Let your fears drive you to your heavenly Father.
