Psalm 27 offers us an enteral truth: God is our light and our salvation. External resources cannot harm us unless the Almighty allows them. Our response to adversity should not be fear but moving ever closer to the Lord. That is the message of this song inspired by Psalm 27.

ADONAI (LORD), You are my light, my salvation; whom should I fear? (יהוה אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא) You are the breath that guards my life; what dread can touch me here?

When those with evil hunger in their eyes came near, seeking to tear my flesh, My enemies, my foes, they stumbled in defeat, carried by the wind like dust and ash. If I am surrounded by enemies' armies, my heart will rest, untouched by fear. When war calls like thunder at the gates, I find peace within my bones; ADONAI is near

One thing I ask, and with every breath, I seek: to dwell in Your presence, ADONAI,
To live in the warmth of Your house, all the days of my life כָּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי

Let me gaze upon Your endless beauty, LORD, in silence by the shade of your tent.
For in times of trouble, You conceal me; in Your hidden place, ADONAI, I find rest. All the days of my life. כָּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי
