The
LORD is my
light and my
salvation; whom shall I
fear? the
LORD is the
strength of my
life; of whom shall I be
afraid?

When the
wicked, even mine
enemies and my
foes,
came upon me to eat
up my
flesh, they
stumbled and
fell.

Though an
host should
encamp against me, my
heart shall not
fear: though
war should
rise against me, in this will I be
confident.

One thing have I
desired 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
beauty of the
LORD, and to
enquire in his
temple.

For in the
time of
trouble he shall
hide me in his
pavilion: in the
secret of his
tabernacle shall he
hide me; he shall set me
up upon a
rock.

And now shall mine
head be lifted
up above mine
enemies round
about me: therefore will I
offer in his
tabernacle sacrifices of
joy; I will
sing, yea, I will sing
praises unto the
LORD.

Hear, O

cry with my

mercy also upon me, and
answer me.

Seek ye my

Hide not thy

put not thy

anger: thou hast been my
help; leave me not, neither
forsake me, O
God of my
salvation.
