Psalm 27:1

[von1]

This verse was from a book mark, on the front was a picture of a light house, with the verse from Psalm 27:1. As I reading the verse and I broke the verse down ,to share how it makes me feel. The first part "the Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The light of Jesus makes my way clear and keeps me from being lost and he is always there with loving arms. Second part " the Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid? I can face anything with Jesus my side and guiding me each step of the way and telling me its going to be ok.

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid ?

 

[Shamah]

Awesome Psalm, the whole thing, trust, courage, resolve, pleas and praise! I particularly like the last 2 verses!

Psalms 27:1-14,

1 יהוה is my light and my deliverance; Whom should I fear? יהוה is the refuge of my life; Whom should I dread?"

2 When evil-doers come against me To eat up my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, They shall stumble and fall."

3 Though an army encamps against me, My heart does not fear; Though battle comes up against me, Even then I would be trusting."

4 One matter I asked of יהוה – this I seek: To dwell in the House of יהוה All the days of my life, To see the pleasantness of יהוה, And to inquire in His Temple."

5 For in the day of evil He hides me in His booth; In the covering of His Tent He hides me; On a rock He raises me up."

6 And now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me; And I slaughter in His Tent with slaughters of sounding; I sing, yes, I sing praises to יהוה."

7 Hear, O יהוה, when I cry with my voice! And show me favour, and answer me."

8 To my heart You have said, “Seek My face.” Your face, יהוה, I seek."

9 Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in displeasure; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O Elohim of my deliverance."

10 When my father and my mother have forsaken me, Then יהוה does take me in."

11 Teach me Your way, O יהוה, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies."

12 Do not give me over To the desire of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out cruelty to me."

13 What if I had not believed To see the goodness of יהוה In the land of the living!"

14 Wait on יהוה, be strong, And let Him strengthen your heart! Wait, I say, on יהוה!"

 

[posthuman]

God saw that the light was good; ​

and God separated the light from the darkness. ​

(Genesis 1:4)​

​

​

for you were formerly darkness, ​

but now you are Light in the Lord; ​

walk as children of Light ​

(Ephesians 5:8)​

 

[posthuman]

The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear?

So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light!
(Romans 13:12)​

 

[Mem]

This passage is considered to encapsulate all the Hebrew fall festivals; Rosh Hashanna (celebrates creation; let there be light), Yom Kippur (day of atonement; my salvation), and Sukkot (my stronghold). Jesus is all that and more
