Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear?
: the Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes,
come upon me to devour me
: they shall stumble and fall.
If an army encamp against me, my heart shall not be afraid
: and if war should rise against me, yet will I trust.
One thing I have asked from the Lord, which I will require
: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To see the fair beauty of the Lord
: and to seek his will in his temple.
For he will hide me under his shelter in the day of trouble
: and conceal me in the shadow of his tent,
and set me high upon a rock.
And now he will lift up my head
: above my enemies round about me.
And I will offer sacrifices in his sanctuary with exultation
: I will sing, I will sing praises to the Lord.
O Lord, hear my voice when I cry
: have mercy upon me and answer me.
