PSALM 27:1-6 AMPLIFIED BIBLE (AMP)
[A Psalm] of David.]

1 THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION—whom shall I fear or dread? THE LORD IS THE REFUGE AND STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE—of whom shall I be afraid?
2 WHEN THE WICKED, EVEN MY ENEMIES AND MY FOES, CAME UPON ME TO EAT UP MY FLESH, THEY STUMBLED AND FELL.
3 THOUGH A HOST ENCAMP AGAINST ME, MY HEART SHALL NOT FEAR; THOUGH WAR ARISE AGAINST ME, [even then] in this will I be confident.
4 ONE THING HAVE I ASKED OF THE LORD, THAT WILL I SEEK, INQUIRE FOR, AND [insistently] REQUIRE: THAT I MAY DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD [in His presence] ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, TO BEHOLD AND GAZE UPON THE BEAUTY [THE SWEET ATTRACTIVENESS AND THE DELIGHTFUL loveliness] OF THE LORD AND TO MEDITATE, CONSIDER, AND INQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE.
5 For in the day of trouble HE WILL HIDE ME IN HIS SHELTER; IN THE SECRET PLACE OF HIS TENT WILL HE HIDE ME; HE WILL SET ME HIGH UPON A ROCK.
6 AND NOW SHALL MY HEAD BE LIFTED UP ABOVE MY ENEMIES ROUND ABOUT ME; IN HIS TENT I WILL OFFER SACRIFICES AND SHOUTING OF JOY; I WILL SING, YES, I WILL SING PRAISES TO THE LORD.
