27:1  By David. The LORD delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The LORD protects my life! I am afraid of no one!
27:2  When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.
27:3  Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.
27:4  I 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.
27:5  He 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.
27:6  Now 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!
27:7  Hear me, O LORD, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me!
27:8  My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O LORD.
27:9  Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me!
27:10  Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the LORD would take me in.
27:11  Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me!
27:12  Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me.
27:13  Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the LORD's favor in the land of the living?
27:14  Rely on the LORD! Be strong and confident! Rely on the LORD!
