1 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, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
-
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
-
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 enquire in his temple.
-
5 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.
-
6 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.
-
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
-
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
-
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 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
-
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
-
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
-
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to 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 thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

- 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
- 2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
- 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.
- 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.
- 5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.
- 6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
- 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.
- 8 When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.”
- 9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation!
- 10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up.
- 11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes.
- 12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.
- 13 I would have despaired 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 let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
