One: This is the word of the Lord.

Psalm 27 (responsively)
1The 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?
2When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh— my adversaries and foes— they shall
stumble and fall.
3Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up
against me, yet I will be confident.
4One 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.
5For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the
cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.
6Now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer
me!
8“Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!” Your face, LORD, do I seek.
9Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger, you who have
been my help. Do not cast me off, do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!
10If my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will take me
up.
11Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
12Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen
against me, and they are breathing out violence.
13I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
Luke 13:31-35
