My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
That will I seek:
That I may bdwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the1 beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall bset me high upon a rock.
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of1 joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
| << Psalms 27:3 | Psalms 27:5 >> |
