Psalms 27:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. The Lord is my light and my salvation.Should I fear anyone?The Lord is a fortress protecting my life.Should I be frightened of anything?

2. When evildoers come at me trying to eat me up—it’s they, my foes and my enemies,who stumble and fall!

3. If an army camps against me,my heart won’t be afraid.If war comes up against me,I will continue to trust in this:

4. I have asked one thing from the Lord—it’s all I seek:to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life,seeing the Lord’s beautyand constantly adoring his temple.

5. Because he will shelter me in his own dwellingduring troubling times;he will hide me in a secret place in his own tent;he will set me up high, safe on a rock.
