Psalm 27:1 (KJV)
[27] The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength
of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:2-14 (KJV)
[2] When the wicked, even mine enemies
and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
[3] Though an host should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear: though war should
rise against me, in this will I be confident.
[4] One thing have I desired of the Lord,
that will I seek after; that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to enquire in his temple.
[5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me
in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle
shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
[6] And now shall mine head be lifted up above
mine enemies round about me: therefore will I
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
[7] Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
[8] When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart
said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
[9] Hide not thy face far from me; put not
thy servant away in anger: thou hast been
my help; leave me not, neither forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
[10] When my father and my mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take me up.
[11] Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in
a plain path, because of mine enemies.
[12] Deliver me not over unto the will of
mine enemies: for false witnesses are
risen up against me, and such as
breathe out cruelty.
[13] I had fainted, unless I had believed to
see the goodness of the Lord in the
land of the living.
[14] Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the Lord.
