 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; * for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; * thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the for ever.

Psalm 27    Dominus illuminatio

The is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? *    the  is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

One thing have I desired of the, which I will require, * even that I may dwell in the house of the all the  days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the, and to visit his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle; * yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone.

And now shall he lift up mine head * above mine enemies round about me.

Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness; * I will sing and speak praises unto the.

Hearken unto my voice, O, when I cry unto thee; * have mercy upon me, and hear me.
