Psalm 27:1–6
1 The Lord is my lights and my salvationt—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strongholdu of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?v
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devoura me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.w
my heart will not fear;x
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.y
4 One thingz I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,a
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of troubleb
he will keep me safec in his dwelling;
he will hide med in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.e
6 Then my head will be exaltedf
above the enemies who surround me;g
