| 1Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread? | 1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? |
| 2When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell. | 2When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. |
| 3Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust. | 3Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. |
| 4One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple. | 4One 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. |
| 5For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock. | 5For 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. |
| 6Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. | 6And 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. |
| 7Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me. | 7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me. |
| 8My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek. | 8When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O LORD, I shall seek." |
| 9Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation. | 9Do 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! |
| 10Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. | 10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up. |
| 11Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors. | 11Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes. |
| 12Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. | 12Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. |
| 13Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. | 13I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. |
| 14Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD! | 14Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. |
