The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh
They shall stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war rise up against me,
Yet I will be confident.
One thing I asked of the Lord,
That will I seek after:
To live in the House of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple. – from Psalm 27
Today’s scripture passage comes from Philippians 3:17-4:1.
