These 150 prayers were used by the Hebrews to express their relationship with God. They cover the whole field of human emotions, from joy to hate, from hope to despair.

American King James Version

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?

27 : 2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came on me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

27 : 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

27 : 4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

27 : 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up on a rock.

27 : 6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

27 : 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also on me, and answer me.

27 : 8 When you said, Seek you my face; my heart said to you, Your face, LORD, will I seek.

27 : 9 Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

27 : 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

27 : 11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.

27 : 12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

27 : 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

27 : 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
