Psalms 27

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 27 of 150

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the evildoers, my enemies and my oppressors came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 If an army should camp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rises against me, in this I am trusting.
