27Psalms · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹You, Lord, are the light that keeps me safe. I am not afraid of anyone. You protect me, and I have no fears.

²Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will stumble. Fierce enemies may attack, but they will fall.

³Armies may surround me, but I won't be afraid; war may break out, but I will trust you.

⁴I ask only one thing, Lord: Let me live in your house every day of my life to see how wonderful you are and to pray in your temple.

⁵In times of trouble, Lord, you will protect me. You will hide me in your tent and keep me safe on top of a mighty rock.

⁶You will let me defeat all my enemies. Then I will celebrate, as I enter your tent with animal sacrifices and songs of praise.

⁷Please listen when I pray! Have pity. Answer my prayer.

⁸My heart tells me to pray. I am eager to see your face,

⁹so don't hide from me. I am your servant, Lord, and you have helped me. Don't turn from me in anger. You alone keep me safe. Don't reject or desert me.

¹⁰Even if my father and mother should desert me, you will take care of me.

¹¹Teach me to follow, Lord, and lead me on the right path because of my enemies.

¹²Don't let them do to me what they want. People tell lies about me and make violent threats,

¹³but I know I will live to see how kind you are.

¹⁴Trust the Lord! Be brave and strong and trust the Lord. Notes
