27:1  Davidic. The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom should I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom should I be afraid?
27:2  When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.
27:3  Though an army deploys against me, my heart is not afraid; though a war breaks out against me, still I am confident.
27:4  I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the LORD and seeking Him in His temple.
27:5  For He will conceal me in His shelter in the day of adversity; He will hide me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high on a rock.
27:6  Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the LORD.
27:7   LORD, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.
27:8  My heart says this about You," You are to seek My face." LORD, I will seek Your face.
27:9  Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or abandon me, God of my salvation.
27:10  Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD cares for me.
27:11  Because of my adversaries, show me Your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path.
27:12  Do not give me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing violence.
27:13  I am certain that I will see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living.
27:14  Wait for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait for the LORD.
