Psalm 27:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
3 Even if an army surrounds me, I will not be afraid.
Even if people attack me in war, I will trust in the Lord.
4 I 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]
5 He 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.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;(A)
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.(B)

he will keep me safe(F) in his dwelling;
