Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The Lord protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.
1
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 people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall.
2
When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3 Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid; even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God.
3
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
4 I have asked the Lord for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the Lord's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance.
4
One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
5 In times of trouble he will shelter me; he will keep me safe in his Temple and make me secure on a high rock.
5
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
6 So I will triumph over my enemies around me. With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple; I will sing, I will praise the Lord.
6
Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
