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?
1 <<A Psalm of David.>> 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?
2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me, even in this will I be confident.
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.
4 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 inquire in His temple.
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.
5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret places of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a rock.
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.
6 And then shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; therefore I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek.
8 When Thou saidst, "Seek ye My face," my heart said unto Thee, "Thy face, LORD, will I seek."
9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.
9 Hide not Thy face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger. Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
11 Teach me Thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a level path because of mine enemies.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
13 I would have fainted, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
14 Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the LORD!
