Psalms 27:3-4

Context

27:3 Even when an army is deployed against me,

I do not fear. 1 

Even when war is imminent, 2 

I remain confident. 3 

27:4 I have asked the Lord for one thing –

this is what I desire!

I want to live 4  in the Lord’s house 5  all the days of my life,

so I can gaze at the splendor 6  of the Lord

and contemplate in his temple.

1 tn Heb “my heart does not fear.”

2 tn Heb “if war rises up against me.”

3 tn Heb “in this [i.e., “during this situation”] I am trusting.”

4 tn Heb “my living.”
