Psalms 27:1-6

1The Lord is my light and my salvation. Who is there to fear? The Lord is my life’s fortress. Who is there to be afraid of?

2Evildoers closed in on me to tear me to pieces. My opponents and enemies stumbled and fell.

3Even though an army sets up camp against me, my heart will not be afraid. Even though a war breaks out against me, I will still have confidence ⌞in the Lord⌟.

4I have asked one thing from the Lord. This I will seek: to remain in the Lord’s house all the days of my life in order to gaze at the Lord’s beauty and to search for an answer in his temple.

5He hides me in his shelter when there is trouble. He keeps me hidden in his tent. He sets me high on a rock.

6Now my head will be raised above my enemies who surround me. I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy in his tent. I will sing and make music to praise the Lord.
