Psalm 27:1-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 27
Triumphant Song of Confidence
Of David.
1 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)
2 When evildoers assail me
to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
they shall stumble and fall.(B)
3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident.(C)
4 One thing I asked of the Lord;
this I seek:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple.(D)
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 set me high on a rock.(E)
6 Now my head is lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.(F)
