Psalm 27 iMix: Albums (1: Congregational, 2: Contemporary)

It’s amazing what you can find in the iTunes music store. I was able to create two albums of songs all based on Psalm 27. My mom really like that’s that chapter in Psalms, so I did a search for: “Psalm 27” in iTunes. There are over 90 songs in the results. There are about 20 songs that are decent, so I split them up into two albums.

• Psalm 27: Album 1: with a more congregational aspect

• Psalm 27: Album 2: with more contemporary music

The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation

Of David.

27:1

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?

2

When evildoers assail me

   to eat up my flesh,

my adversaries and foes,

   it is they who stumble and fall.

3

Though an army encamp against me,

   my heart shall not fear;

though war arise against me,

   yet I will be confident.

4

One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord

   and to inquire in his temple.

5

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 lift me high upon a rock.

6

And now my head shall be 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.

7

Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;

   be gracious to me and answer me!

8

You have said, “Seek my face.”

My heart says to you,

   “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”

9

   Hide not your face from me.

Turn not your servant away in anger,

   O you who have been my help.

Cast me not off; forsake me not,

   O God of my salvation!

10

For my father and my mother have forsaken me,

   but the Lord will take me in.

11

Teach me your way, O Lord,

   and lead me on a level path

   because of my enemies.

12

Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;

   for false witnesses have risen against me,

   and they breathe out violence.

13

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord

   in the land of the living!

14

Wait for the Lord;

   be strong, and let your heart take courage;

   wait for the Lord!
