Psalm 27 King James Version (KJV) 27  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 m

Psalm 23 A psalm of David. The  Lord  is my shepherd,  I lack nothing.      He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,      he refreshes my soul. He guides me  along the right paths      for his name’s sake.   Even though I walk      through the darkest valley, [ a ] I will fear no evil,      for you are with me; your rod and your staff,      they comfort me. You prepare a table  before me      in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;      my cup  overflows.   Surely your goodness and love  will follow me      all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the  Lord      forever.
