Rh  He burneth the chariots in the fire.
 * Be still, and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth,
 * The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

SELECTION 14 PRAYER FOR PROTECTION Psalm xxvii HE 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?

When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh,
 * Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
 * Though war should rise against me, even then will I be confident.

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 behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple,
 * For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:

In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me;
 * He will lift me up upon a rock. And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;

And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
 * I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Hear, Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
 * When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger:
 * Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me,
 * O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
