27:1  Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
27:2  When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
27:3  Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
27:4  One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in his temple.
27:5  For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
27:6  And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all round me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
27:7  Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
27:8  You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”
27:9  Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!
27:10  For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.
27:11  Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
27:12  Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.
27:13  I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
27:14  Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
