ARTWORK NARRATIVE:

“The Lord is my light and my salvation-
whom shall I fear?
One thing I ask of the Lord,…
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord …
God will keep me safe in God’s dwelling;…
And set me high upon a rock.”
(Psalms 27:1,4-5)

PSALMS - Chapter 27:

1 Of David The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom do I fear? The LORD is my life's refuge; of whom am I afraid?

2 When evildoers come at me to devour my flesh, these my enemies and foes themselves stumble and fall.

3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart does not fear; though war be waged against me, even then do I trust.

4 One thing I ask of the LORD; this I seek: To dwell in the LORD'S house all the days of my life, to gaze on the LORD'S beauty, to visit his temple.

5 For God will hide me in his shelter in time of trouble, will conceal me in the cover of his tent; and set me high upon a rock.

6 Even now my head is held high above my enemies on every side! I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and chant praise to the LORD.

7 I hear my voice, LORD, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.

8 "Come," says my heart, "seek God's face"; your face, LORD, do I seek!

9 Do not hide your face from me; do not repel your servant in anger. You are my help; do not cast me off; do not forsake me, God my savior!

10 Even if my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will take me in.

11 LORD, show me your way; lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

12 Do not abandon me to the will of my foes; malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.

13 But I believe I shall enjoy the LORD'S goodness in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!
