Psalms 27 — Context

4

I have asked the LORD for one thing– this is what I desire! I want to live in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the LORD and contemplate in his temple.

5

He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.

6

Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the LORD!

7

Hear me, O LORD, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me!

8

My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O LORD.

Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me!

Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the LORD would take me in.
