040) Psalm 27
8.6.8.6.
1 Whom should I fear, since God to me is saving health and light?
Since strongly he my life supports, what can my soul affright.
2 With fierce intent my flesh to tear, when foes beset me round, They stumbled, and their lofty crests were made to strike the ground.
3 Through him my heart, undaunted, dares with num’rous hosts to cope;
Through him in doubtful straits of war, for good success I hope.
4 Henceforth within his house to dwell I earnestly desire, His wondrous beauty there to view, and his blest will enquire.
5 For there may I with comfort rest, in times of deep distress; And safe as on a rock abide, in that secure recess;
6 Whilst God o’er all my haughty foes my lofty head shall raise, And I my joyful off’ring bring, and sing glad songs of praise.
