Psalms 27:1-6

1The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom should I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — whom should I dread?

2When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.

3Though an army deploys against me, my heart will not be afraid; though a war breaks out against me, I will still be confident.

4I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking him in his temple.

5For he will conceal me in his shelter in the day of adversity; he will hide me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.

6Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in his tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord.
