1
The LORD is my 1light and my 2salvation; 3whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strongholda of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When evildoers assail me to 4eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
35Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yetb I will be confident.
46One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may 7dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon 8the beauty of the LORD and to inquirec in his temple.
5
For he will 9hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will 10lift me high upon a rock.
6
And now my 11head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of 12joy; 13I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
714Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
8
You have said, 15"Seekd my face." My heart says to you, "Your face, LORD, do I seek."e
916Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, 17O God of my salvation!
10
For 18my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will 19take me in.
1120Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on 21a level path because of my enemies.
1222Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for 23false witnesses have risen against me, and they 24breathe out violence.
13
I believef that I shall look upon 25the goodness of the LORD in 26the land of the living!
1427Wait for the LORD; 28be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
