27[A psalm of David.] The LORD is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?H1732H3068H216H3468H3372H3068H4581H2416H63422When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.H7489H6862H341H7126H398H1320H3782H53073Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.H4264H2583H3820H3372H4421H6965H9824The one thing I ask of the LORD—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD's perfections and meditating in his Temple.H259H7592H3068H1245H3427H1004H3068H3117H2416H2372H5278H3068H1239H19645For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock.H3117H7451H6845H5520H5643H168H5641H7311H66976Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the LORD with music.H7218H7311H341H5439H2076H168H2077H8643H7891H2167H30687Hear me as I pray, O LORD. Be merciful and answer me!H8085H3068H7121H6963H2603H60308My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming."H1245H6440H3820H559H6440H3068H12459Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now; don't abandon me, O God of my salvation!H5641H6440H5186H5650H5186H639H5833H5203H5800H430H346810Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.H1H517H5800H3068H62211Teach me how to live, O LORD. Lead me along the right path, for my enemies are waiting for me.H3384H1870H3068H5148H4334H734H832412Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I've never done; with every breath they threaten me with violence.H5414H5315H6862H8267H5707H6965H3307H255513Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.H3884H539H7200H2898H3068H776H241614Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.H6960H3068H2388H553H3820H6960H3068
