Psalm  27,  KJV,  gives  confidence  for  daily  living
without  fear  in  a  world of  uncertainty  and  where
humanly speaking there are lots of reasons to fear.

Paul Hoffman

1

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon
me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not
fear; though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:  in
the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me
up upon a rock.
6
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies
round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon
me, and answer me.
8
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD
will take me up.
11
Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
because of mine enemies.
12
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of
the LORD in the land of the living.
14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
