#1—Read it!
Carefully read the following passage:

Ps. 27: 4-6 (NASB)
v. 4: One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: 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 meditate in His temple.

v. 5: For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.

v. 6: And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

#2—Investigate it!
Click on the highlighted words to find out their meaning. Record your findings on your WordStudy Sheet. Compare meanings. Find definitions of any other words you don't know in a dictionary or search for them here.

Online or in your own Bible, look back over the previous chapters to answer as many of the following questions as you can. (Hint: Check the first chapter or the verses just preceding the passage, headings, footnotes, and/or other notations.)
  • Who wrote it?
  • To whom was it written?
  • When was it written?
  • Where was it written?
  • Why was it written?
  • Other facts.
You can learn even more by looking in a Bible commentary. Or try looking up key words in a concordance to find other scriptures where the word is used.

#3—Write it!
On your WordStudy Sheet, tell in your own words what you think each verse means. Use the information you gathered above to guide you as you think through each verse.

#4—Apply it!
Now that you have an idea what the verses are saying, how could they apply to you? On your WordStudy Sheet write what you think each verse could mean in your life. Is there something you should do? Or something you need to change? Get "up-close-and-personal" as you think about it!

#5—Pray!
Ask God to help you do the things you learned about in today's study. Be specific! When we pray specifically, God answers specifically!

#6—Share it!
Share your study with your parents or your teacher and get their feedback on your conclusions.
