|
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 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!
