Psalms 27

A Declaration of Trust

1 Yahweh is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

Yahweh is the refuge of my life;

of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evildoers drew near against me to eat my flesh—

my adversaries and my enemies who drew near to me—

they themselves stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army encamp against me,

my heart will not fear.

Though war arise against me,

even in this I will remain confident.
