New Testament

Psalm 27:2-6 The Message (MSG)

2. When vandal hordes ride downready to eat me alive,Those bullies and toughsfall flat on their faces.

3. When besieged,I’m calm as a baby.When all hell breaks loose,I’m collected and cool.

4. I’m asking God for one thing,only one thing:To live with him in his housemy whole life long.I’ll contemplate his beauty;I’ll study at his feet.

5. That’s the only quiet, secure placein a noisy world,The perfect getaway,far from the buzz of traffic.

6. God holds me head and shouldersabove all who try to pull me down.I’m headed for his place to offer anthemsthat will raise the roof!Already I’m singing God-songs;I’m making music to God.
