New Testament

Psalms 27:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. You, Lord, are the lightthat keeps me safe.I am not afraid of anyone.You protect me,and I have no fears.

2. Brutal people may attackand try to kill me,but they will stumble.Fierce enemies may attack,but they will fall.

3. Armies may surround me,but I won't be afraid;war may break out,but I will trust you.

4. I ask only one thing, Lord:Let me live in your houseevery day of my lifeto see how wonderful you areand to pray in your temple.

5. In times of trouble,you will protect me.You will hide me in your tentand keep me safeon top of a mighty rock.

6. You will let me defeatall of my enemies.Then I will celebrate,as I enter your tentwith animal sacrificesand songs of praise.
