CHAPTER 27
Of David.
The LORD
is my light
and my salvation—
whom
shall I fear?
The LORD
is the stronghold
of my life—
whom
shall I dread?
Though
an army
encamps
around me,
my heart
will not
fear;
though
a war
breaks out
against me,
I
will keep my trust.
One thing
I have asked
of the LORD,
this is what I desire:
to dwell
in the house
of the LORD
all
the days
of my life,
to gaze
on the beauty
of the LORD
and seek Him
in His temple.
For
in the day
of trouble
He will hide
me in His shelter;
He will conceal me
under the cover
of His tent;
He will set me high
upon a rock.
Then
my head
will be held high
above
my enemies
around me.
At His tabernacle
I will offer
sacrifices
with shouts of joy;
I will sing
and make music
to the LORD.
Hide
not
Your face
from me,
nor
turn away
Your servant
in anger.
You have been
my helper;
do not
leave me
or
forsake me,
O God
of my salvation.
Do not
hand me over
to the will
of my foes,
for
FALSE
witnesses
rise up
against me,
breathing out
violence.
