| 1The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid? | 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? |
| 2When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors come near me to devour my flesh, they stumble and fall. | 2When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell. |
| 3If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear. If a war is launched against me, I will even trust in that situation. | 3Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust. |
| 4I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I really seek: that I may remain in the LORD's Temple all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD; and to inquire in his Temple. | 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. |
| 5For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of evil; He will hide me in a secluded chamber within his tent; He will place me on a high rock. | 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. |
| 6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies, even those who surround me. I will sacrifice in his tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melodies to the LORD. | 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. |
| 7Hear my voice, LORD, when I cry out! Be gracious to me and answer me. | 7Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me. |
| 8My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek. | 8My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek. |
| 9Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation. | 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. |
| 10Though my father and my mother abandoned me, the LORD gathers me up. | 10Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. |
| 11Teach me your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. | 11Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors. |
| 12Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence. | 12Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. |
| 13I believe that I will see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living. | 13Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. |
| 14Wait on the LORD. Be courageous, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait on the LORD! | 14Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD! |
