Psalm 27:1-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

By David.

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation.
Who is there to fear?
The Lord is my life’s fortress.
Who is there to be afraid of?

²Evildoers closed in on me to tear me to pieces.
My opponents and enemies stumbled and fell.
³Even though an army sets up camp against me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even though a war breaks out against me,
I will still have confidence ⌞in the Lord⌟.

⁴I have asked one thing from the Lord.
This I will seek:
to remain in the Lord’s house all the days of my life
in order to gaze at the Lord’s beauty
and to search for an answer in his temple.
⁵He hides me in his shelter when there is trouble.
He keeps me hidden in his tent.
He sets me high on a rock.
