Psalm 27:1-3

The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation

Of David.

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

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

3 l Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet 2 I will be confident.
