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 came against me to eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.
³ Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident.

⁴ One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I 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 inquire in His temple.
⁵ For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

⁶ And now my head shall be^]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
⁸ When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
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 nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
¹⁰ When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.

¹¹ Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
¹² Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence.
¹³ I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

¹⁴ Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
