1A Psalm of David. The LORD<3068> is my light<216> and my salvation<3468>; Whom<4310> shall I fear<3372>? The LORD<3068> is the defense<4581> of my life<2425>; Whom<4310> shall I dread<6342>?
2When evildoers<7489> came<7126> upon me to devour<398> my flesh<1320>, My adversaries<6862> and my enemies<340>, they stumbled<3782> and fell<5307>.
3Though<518> a host<4264> encamp<2583> against<5921> me, My heart<3820> will not fear<3372>; Though<518> war<4421> arise<6965> against<5921> me, In spite of this<384> I shall be confident<982>.
4One<259> thing<259> I have asked<7592> from the LORD<3068>, that I shall seek<1245>: That I may dwell<3427> in the house<1004> of the LORD<3068> all<3605> the days<3117> of my life<2425>, To behold<2372> the beauty<5278> of the LORD<3068> And to meditate<1239> in His temple<1964>.
5For in the day<3117> of trouble<7463> He will conceal<6845> me in His tabernacle<5520>; In the secret<5643> place<5643> of His tent<168> He will hide<5641> me; He will lift<7311> me up on a rock<6697>.
6And now<6258> my head<7218> will be lifted<7311> up above<5921> my enemies<340> around<5439> me, And I will offer<2076> in His tent<168> sacrifices<2077> with shouts<8643> of joy<8643>; I will sing<7891>, yes, I will sing<2167> praises<2167> to the LORD<3068>.
7Hear<8085>, O LORD<3068>, when I cry<7121> with my voice<6963>, And be gracious<2603> to me and answer<6030> me.
8When You said, "Seek<1245> My face<6440>," my heart<3820> said<559> to You, "Your face<6440>, O LORD<3068>, I shall seek<1245>."
9Do not hide<5641> Your face<6440> from me, Do not turn<5186> Your servant<5650> away<5186> in anger<639>; You have been<1961> my help<5833>; Do not abandon<5203> me nor<408> forsake<5800> me, O God<430> of my salvation<3468>!
10For my father<1> and my mother<517> have forsaken<5800> me, But the LORD<3068> will take<622> me up.
11Teach<3384> me Your way<1870>, O LORD<3068>, And lead<5148> me in a level<4334> path<734> Because<4616> of my foes<7796>.
12Do not deliver<5414> me over to the desire<5315> of my adversaries<6862>, For false<8267> witnesses<5707> have risen<6965> against me, And such as breathe<3307> out violence<2555>.
13I would have despaired unless<3884> I had believed<539> that I would see<7200> the goodness<2898> of the LORD<3068> In the land<776> of the living<2416>.
14Wait<6960> for the LORD<3068>; Be strong<2388> and let your heart<3820> take<553> courage<553>; Yes, wait<6960> for the LORD<3068>.
