Psalms 27:2 Context
1[A Psalme of Dauid.] The Lord is my light, and my saluation, whome shal I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whō shall I be afraid? 2When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon me to eat vp my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3Though an host should encampe against me, my heart shall not feare: though warre should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that will I seeke after: that I may dwel in the house of the Lord, all the dayes of my life, to behold the beautie of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.
