The Lord is my salvation

1
A psalm of David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? Yahweh is my life’s refuge; whom should I dread?
2
When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies stumbled and fell.
3
Though an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear; though war rises up against me, even then I will remain confident.
4
One thing have I asked of Yahweh, and I will seek that: That I may live in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see the beauty of Yahweh and to meditate in his temple.
5
For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his shelter; in the cover of his tent he will conceal me. He will lift me high on a rock!
6
Then my head will be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent! I will sing and make songs to Yahweh!
7
Hear, Yahweh, my voice when I cry out! Have mercy on me, and answer me!
8
My heart says about you, “Seek his face!” I seek your face, Yahweh!
9
Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger! You have been my helper; do not forsake me or abandon me, God of my salvation!
10
Even if my father and my mother forsake me, Yahweh will take me in.
11
Teach me your way, Yahweh! Lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
12
Do not give me up to the desires of my enemies, for false witnesses have risen up against me, and they breathe out violence!
13
What would have happened to me if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living?
14
Wait for Yahweh; be strong, and let your heart be courageous! Wait for Yahweh!

The Lord is my salvation

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 evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3
Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4
One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
5
For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6
Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7
Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8
When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”
9
Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11
Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12
Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
13
I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14
Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
