|
|
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.
