Psalm 27

God, you are my light and my salvation:
whom shall I fear?

You are the stronghold of my life:
of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers assail me, uttering slanders against me:
my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear:
though war rise against me, yet I will be confident.

One thing have I asked of you, Yahweh, this I seek:
to dwell in your house all the days of my life,
to behold your beauty and to contemplate your Temple.

For you will hide me in your shelter in the day of trouble:
you will conceal me under the cover of your tent
you will set me high upon a rock.

Though my father and mother forsake me:
you will still accept me.

I believe that I shall see the goodness of Yahweh:
in the land of the living!

Wait for Yahweh: be strong and take courage:
Yes, wait for God!

All: God, you are my light and my salvation:
whom shall I fear?
