Psalm 27:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵In times of trouble, Lord,
    you will protect me.
You will hide me in your tent
and keep me safe
    on top of a mighty rock.^[a]
⁶You will let me defeat
    all my enemies.
Then I will celebrate,
    as I enter your tent
with animal sacrifices
    and songs of praise.

⁷Please listen when I pray!
Have pity. Answer my prayer.
