| 1 | [A Psalm] of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? |
| 2 | When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. |
| 3 | Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise up against me, Even then will I be confident. |
| 4 | One thing have I asked 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 graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple. |
| 5 | For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock. . |
| 6 | And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. |
| 7 | Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, And be gracious unto me, and answer me. |
| 8 | In Thy behalf my heart hath said: ‘Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek. |
| 9 | Hide not Thy face far from me; Put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. |
| 10 | For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, The LORD will take me up. |
| 11 | Teach me Thy way, O LORD; And lead me in an even path, Because of them that lie in wait for me. |
| 12 | Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence. |
| 13 | If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living!— |
| 14 | Wait on the LORD; Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for the LORD. |
