New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
1 The Lord is my light and the one who saves me. I fear no one. The Lord protects my life; I am afraid of no one.
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 Evil people may try to destroy my body. My enemies and those who hate me attack me, but they are overwhelmed and defeated.
2
When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3 If an army surrounds me, I will not be afraid. If war breaks out, I will trust the Lord.
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 ask only one thing from the Lord. This is what I want: all my life. and look with my own eyes at his Temple.
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 During danger he will keep me safe in his shelter. He will hide me in his Holy Tent, or he will keep me safe on a high mountain.
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 My head is higher than my enemies around me. I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent. I will sing and 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.
7 Lord, hear me when I call; have mercy and answer me.
7
Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.
