When danger is near,
    the Lord will keep me safe.
He will take care of me in his home.
He will put me in a safe place,
    on the top of a high rock.
My enemies may be all round me,
    but I will win against them.
    They will see how strong I am!
I will offer sacrifices to the Lord in his temple.
I will be so happy that I will shout aloud!
    Yes, I will sing to praise the Lord.

Lord, hear me when I call to you for help.[a]
    Be kind to me and answer me.

  1. 27:7 Here the psalm changes. In verses 1-6, life was good for David. Now life is difficult. David thinks that God has forgotten him. But David continues to pray. He says, ‘You gave me help in the past, so do not forget me now.’
