Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
1
The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom should I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom should I be afraid?
2 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
2
When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.
3
Though an army deploy against me, my heart is not afraid; though war break out against me, still I am confident.
4 One [thing] I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
4
I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking [Him] in His temple.
5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
5
For He will conceal me in His shelter in the day of adversity; He will hide me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high on a rock.
6 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
6
Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.
7
Lord, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.
8 To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'
8
In Your behalf my heart says, "Seek My face." Lord, I will seek Your face.
9 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
9
Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help; do not leave me or abandon me, God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
10
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord cares for me.
11 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
11
Because of my adversaries, show me Your way, Lord, and lead me on a level path.
12 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
12
Do not give me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing violence.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
13
I am certain that I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living.
14 Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
14
Wait for the Lord; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the Lord.
