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 evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3 Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.
3
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I have asked from the LORD , that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in 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.
