Confidence in the Lord

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
    of whom will I be afraid?

When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors
    come near me to devour my flesh,
        they stumble and fall.
If an army encamps against me,
    my heart will not fear.
If a war is launched against me,
    I will even trust in that situation.

The Lord is my light(A) and my salvation(B)
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold(C) of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?(D)

When the wicked advance against me
    to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.(E)
Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;(F)
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.(G)
