Adapted from Psalm 27:1-2; 4-5

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 the wicked advance against me

    to devour me,

it is my enemies and my foes

    who will stumble and fall.

One thing I ask from the Lord,

    this only do I seek:

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

    all the days of my life,

to gaze on the beauty of the Lord

    and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble

    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent

    and set me high upon a rock.

Stuart Strachan Jr.

Leader: Our times are in your hand.

People: Deliver us from the hands of our enemies and our persecutors. 

Leader: Let your face shine upon your servants. 

People: Save us in your steadfast love.
