Psalm 27:2-4
New King James Version
2 When the wicked came against me
To (A)eat[a] up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 (B)Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 (C)One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may (D)dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the [b]beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.

2 When evildoers came upon me to (A)devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they (B)stumbled and fell.
