Psalms 27:3-10

³Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

⁴One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

⁵For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

⁶And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

⁷O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.

⁸When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.

⁹Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

¹⁰When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
