Psalm 27.Prayer of Praise.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
I will fear no one.
The Lord protects me from all danger;
I will never be afraid.

2 When evil people attack me and try to kill me,
they stumble and fall.

3 Even if a whole army surrounds me,
I will not be afraid;
even if enemies attack me,
I will still trust God.

4 I have asked the Lord for one thing;
one thing only do I want:
to live in the Lord’s house all my life,
to marvel there at his goodness,
and to ask for his guidance.

5 In times of trouble he will shelter me;
he will keep me safe in his Temple
and make me secure on a high rock.

6 So I will triumph over my enemies around me.
With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices…
