Psalm 27:1-6

Tree of Life Version

¹ Of David.
Adonai is my light and my salvation:
    whom should I fear?
Adonai is the stronghold of my life:
    whom should I dread?
² When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh
—my adversaries and my foes—they stumbled and fell.
³ Though an army camp besieges me, my heart will not fear.
Though war breaks out against me, even then will I be confident.
⁴ One thing have I asked of Adonai,
that will I seek:
to dwell in the House of Adonai
    all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of Adonai,
    and to meditate in His Temple.
⁵ For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His sukkah,
conceal me in the shelter of His tent,
and set me high upon a rock.
⁶ Then will my head be high above my enemies around me.
In His Tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy.
I will sing, yes, sing praises to Adonai.
