Psalm 27

1  The Lord is my light and my salvation;
      whom then shall I fear? •
   The Lord is the strength of my life;
      of whom then shall I be afraid?
2  When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes,
      came upon me to eat up my flesh, •
   they stumbled and fell.
3  Though a host encamp against me,
      my heart shall not be afraid, •
   and though there rise up war against me,
      yet will I put my trust in him.
4  One thing have I asked of the Lord
      and that alone I seek: •
   that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
      all the days of my life,
13  Though my father and my mother forsake me, •
   the Lord will take me up.
14  Teach me your way, O Lord; •
   lead me on a level path,
      because of those who lie in wait for me.
