Psalm 27:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life;of whom shall I be afraid?

2. When evildoers assail meto eat up my flesh,my adversaries and foes,it is they who stumble and fall.

3. Though an army encamp against me,my heart shall not fear;though war arise against me,yet I will be confident.

4. One thing have I asked of the Lord,that will I seek after:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lordand to inquire in his temple.
