The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? 27:2 When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. 27:3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. 27:4 One thing I ask of the Lord , this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. 27:5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. 27:6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. 27:7 Hear my voice when I call, O Lord ; be merciful to me and answer me. 27:8 My heart says of you, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Lord , I will seek. 27:9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior. 27:10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. 27:11 Teach me your way, O Lord ; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. 27:12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 27:14 Wait for the Lord ; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
