Psalm 27 Summary

Psalm 27 is a song of fearless confidence: ‘The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?’

David declares the LORD his light, salvation, and stronghold, so he need not fear enemies. His one desire is to dwell with God and behold his beauty.

Even when troubles press, he waits on the LORD: ‘Be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.’
