Psalms 27:1-6

11The Lord delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The Lord protects my life! I am afraid of no one!

2When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.

3Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.

4I have asked the Lord for one thing – this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

5He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.

6Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the Lord!
