27:1  Of David. 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?
27:2  When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh— my adversaries and foes— they shall stumble and fall.
27:3  Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.
27:4  One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live 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 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.
27:6  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.
27:7  Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!
27:8  ‘Come,’ my heart says, ‘seek his face!’ Your face, Lord, do I seek.
27:9  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!
27:10  If my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.
27:11  Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
27:12  Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and they are breathing out violence.
27:13  I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
27:14  Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
