The LORD is my alight
and my bsalvation
; Whom
shall I fear
? The LORD
is the 1 cdefense
of my life
; dWhom
shall I dread
?
When evildoers came
upon me to adevour
my flesh
, My adversaries
and my enemies
, they bstumbled
and fell
.
Though a ahost
encamp
against
me, My heart
will not fear
; Though
war
arise
against
me, In spite of this
I 1shall be bconfident
.
aOne thing
I have asked
from the LORD
, that I shall seek
: That I may bdwell
in the house
of the LORD
all
the days
of my life
, To behold
cthe 1beauty
of the LORD
And to 2 dmeditate
in His temple
.
For in the aday of trouble
He will bconceal
me in His 1tabernacle
; In the secret
place
of His tent
He will chide
me; He will dlift
me up on a rock
.
And now amy head
will be lifted
up above
my enemies
around
me, And I will offer
in His tent
bsacrifices
1with shouts
of joy
; I will csing
, yes, I will sing
praises
to the LORD
.
aHear, O LORD
, when I cry
with my voice
, And be gracious
to me and banswer
me.
When You said, " aSeek My face
," my heart
said
to You, "Your face
, O LORD
, bI shall seek
."
aDo not hide Your face
from me, Do not turn
Your servant
away
in banger
; You have been
cmy help
; dDo not abandon
me nor
eforsake
me, O God
of my salvation
!
1For my father and amy mother
have forsaken
me, But bthe LORD
will take
me up.
aTeach me Your way
, O LORD
, And lead
me in a blevel
path
Because
of 1my foes
.
Do not deliver me over to the 1 adesire
of my adversaries
, For bfalse
witnesses
have risen
against me, And such as cbreathe
out violence
.
1I would have despaired unless I had believed
that I would see
the agoodness
of the LORD
In the bland
of the living
.
aWait for the LORD
; Be bstrong
and let your heart
take
courage
; Yes, wait
for the LORD
.
