27:1  Of David. Adonai is my light and my salvation: whom should I fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life: whom should I dread?
27:2  When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh —my adversaries and my foes—they stumbled and fell.
27:3  Though an army camp besieges me, my heart will not fear. Though war breaks out against me, even then will I be confident.
27:4  One thing have I asked of Adonai, that will I seek: to dwell in the House of Adonai all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Adonai, and to meditate in His Temple.
27:5  For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His sukkah, conceal me in the shelter of His tent, and set me high upon a rock.
27:6  Then will my head be high above my enemies around me. In His Tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, sing praises to Adonai.
27:7  Hear, Adonai, when I call with my voice, be gracious to me and answer me.
27:8  To You my heart says: “Seek My face.” Your face, Adonai, I seek.
27:9  Do not hide Your face from me. Do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me or forsake me, O God my salvation.
27:10  Though my father and my mother forsake me, Adonai will take me in.
27:11  Teach me Your way, Adonai, and lead me on a level path— because of my enemies.
27:12  Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes. For false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
27:13  Surely I trust that I will see the goodness of Adonai in the land of the living.
27:14  Wait for Adonai. Be strong, let Your heart take courage, and wait for Adonai.
