Psalm 27:1–7

1 The Lord is my alight and my bsalvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the 1cdefense of my life;

dWhom shall I dread?

2 When evildoers came upon me to adevour my flesh,

My adversaries and my enemies, they bstumbled and fell.

3 Though a ahost encamp against me,

My heart will not fear;

Though war arise against me,

In spite of this I 1shall be bconfident.

4 aOne thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:

That I may bdwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

To behold cthe 1beauty of the Lord

And to 2dmeditate in His temple.

5 For in the aday of trouble He will bconceal me in His 1tabernacle;

In the secret place of His tent He will chide me;

He will dlift me up on a rock.

6 And now amy head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,

And I will offer in His tent bsacrifices 1with shouts of joy;

I will csing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 aHear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,

And be gracious to me and banswer me.
