27:1 (By David.) You, Lord, are the light that keeps me safe. I am not afraid of anyone. You protect me, and I have no fears.
27:2 Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will stumble. Fierce enemies may attack, but they will fall.
27:3 Armies may surround me, but I won't be afraid; war may break out, but I will trust you.
27:4 I ask only one thing, Lord: Let me live in your house every day of my life to see how wonderful you are and to pray in your temple.
27:5 In times of trouble, Lord, you will protect me. You will hide me in your tent and keep me safe on top of a mighty rock.
27:6 You will let me defeat all my enemies. Then I will celebrate, as I enter your tent with animal sacrifices and songs of praise.
27:7 Please listen when I pray! Have pity. Answer my prayer.
27:8 My heart tells me to pray. I am eager to see your face,
27:9 so don't hide from me. I am your servant, Lord, and you have helped me. Don't turn from me in anger. You alone keep me safe. Don't reject or desert me.
27:10 Even if my father and mother should desert me, you will take care of me.
27:11 Teach me to follow, Lord, and lead me on the right path because of my enemies.
27:12 Don't let them do to me what they want. People tell lies about me and make violent threats,
27:13 but I know I will live to see how kind you are.
27:14 Trust the Lord! Be brave and strong and trust the Lord.
