Psalm 27
Triumphant Song of Confidence

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
they shall stumble and fall.

and the people became like fuel for the fire;
no one spared another.
20 They gorged on the right, but still were hungry,
and they devoured on the left, but were not satisfied;
they devoured the flesh of their own kindred;[a]
