Psalm 27:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³Even if an army surrounds me, I will not be afraid.
Even if people attack me in war, I will trust in the Lord.

⁴I ask only one thing from the Lord.
    This is what I want most:
Let me live in the Lord’s house all my life,
    enjoying the Lord’s beauty
    and spending time in his palace.^[a]

⁵He will protect me when I am in danger.
He will hide me in his tent.^[b]
He will take me up to his place of safety.
