Psalm 27:1-3
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)

11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.(A)

for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they are breathing out violence.(B)

in the land of the living.(C)
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!(D)
