27:1  The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?
27:2  When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors come near me to devour my flesh, they stumble and fall.
27:3  If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear. If a war is launched against me, I will even trust in that situation.
27:4  I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I really seek: that I may remain in the LORD's Temple all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD; and to inquire in his Temple.
27:5  For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of evil; He will hide me in a secluded chamber within his tent; He will place me on a high rock.
27:6  Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies, even those who surround me. I will sacrifice in his tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melodies to the LORD.
27:7  Hear my voice, LORD, when I cry out! Be gracious to me and answer me.
27:8  My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek.
27:9  Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation.
27:10  Though my father and my mother abandoned me, the LORD gathers me up.
27:11  Teach me your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
27:12  Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence.
27:13  I believe that I will see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living.
27:14  Wait on the LORD. Be courageous, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait on the LORD!
