PSALM

The Lord is my light and my life; of whom shall I be afraid? The Lord is the refuge of my life; of whom shall I tremble? When the wicked drew near against me to devour my flesh, my oppressors and my enemies, they grew weak and fell. Though a host should be set in array against me, my heart shall not fear; and though battle should rise up against me, yet in this I have hoped in [you], O Lord. One [thing] I have asked of the Lord, and this [same] do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; That I may behold the beauty of the Lord, and give command in his temple. He hid me in his tabernacle in the day of evil; he sheltered me under the cover of his tabernacle. Upon a rock you have exalted me; and now, exalt my head above my enemies. I shall go round about, and offer in his tabernacle a sacrifice of blessing; I will bless and sing psalms unto the Lord.
