Text -- Psalms 27:4-14 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
27:4 I have asked the Lord for one thing– this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple. 27:5 He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit. 27:6 Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the Lord! 27:7 Hear me, O Lord, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me! 27:8 My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O Lord. 27:9 Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me! 27:10 Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the Lord would take me in. 27:11 Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me! 27:12 Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me. 27:13 Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord’s favor in the land of the living? 27:14 Rely on the Lord! Be strong and confident! Rely on the Lord!
