Psalms 27:4 in Context — Psalms 27

2 Quando os maus chegaram perto de mim, meus adversários e meus inimigos contra mim, para devorarem minha carne; eles mesmos tropeçaram e caíram.

3 Ainda que um exército me cercasse, eu não temeria; ainda que uma guerra se levantasse contra mim, nisto mantenho confiança.

4 Pedi uma coisa ao SENHOR, [e] a ela buscarei: que eu possa morar na casa do SENHOR todos os dias de minha vida, para ver a beleza do SENHOR, e consultá-lo em seu Templo.

5 Porque no dia mal ele me esconderá em seu abrigo; ele me encobrirá no oculto de sua tenda; [e] me porá sobre as rochas.

6 E minha cabeça será exaltada acima de meus inimigos, que estão ao redor de mim; e eu sacrificarei na tenda dele sacrifícios com alta voz; cantarei e louvarei ao SENHOR.
