Psalm 27

Triumphant Song of Confidence

Of David.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;
    of whom shall I be afraid?(A)

When evildoers assail me
    to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
    they shall stumble and fall.(B)

Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
    yet I will be confident.(C)
