What Psalm 27:1 says
David says that the Lord is his light and his salvation. So he fears no one.
Psalm 27:1 in context
1A Psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
Psalm 27, verses 1–4. Read the whole chapter with John Brown’s notes in the Self-Interpreting Bible.
