1Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold* of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?2When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.3Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet* I will be confident.4One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire* in his temple.5For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.6And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.7Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!8You have said, “Seek* my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”*9Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.11Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.12Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.13I believe that I shall look* upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!14Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
