A Psalm of David{H1732}. The LORD{H3068} is my light{H216} and my salvation{H3468}; whom shall I fear{H3372}{(H8799)}? the LORD{H3068} is the strength{H4581} of my life{H2416}; of whom shall I be afraid{H6342}{(H8799)}?

When the wicked{H7489}{(H8688)}, even mine enemies{H6862} and my foes{H341}{(H8802)}, came{H7126}{(H8800)} upon me to eat up{H398}{(H8800)} my flesh{H1320}, they stumbled{H3782}{(H8804)} and fell{H5307}{(H8804)}.

Though an host{H4264} should encamp{H2583}{(H8799)} against me, my heart{H3820} shall not fear{H3372}{(H8799)}: though war{H4421} should rise{H6965}{(H8799)} against me, in this will I be confident{H982}{(H8802)}.

One{H259} thing have I desired{H7592}{(H8804)} of the LORD{H3068}, that will I seek{H1245}{(H8762)} after; that I may dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} in the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} all the days{H3117} of my life{H2416}, to behold{H2372}{(H8800)} the beauty{H5278} of the LORD{H3068}, and to enquire{H1239}{(H8763)} in his temple{H1964}.

For in the time{H3117} of trouble{H7451} he shall hide{H6845}{(H8799)} me in his pavilion{H5520}: in the secret{H5643} of his tabernacle{H168} shall he hide{H5641}{(H8686)} me; he shall set me up{H7311}{(H8787)} upon a rock{H6697}.

And now shall mine head{H7218} be lifted up{H7311}{(H8799)} above mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} round about{H5439} me: therefore will I offer{H2076}{(H8799)} in his tabernacle{H168} sacrifices{H2077} of joy{H8643}; I will sing{H7891}{(H8799)}, yea, I will sing praises{H2167}{(H8762)} unto the LORD{H3068}.

Hear{H8085}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, when I cry{H7121}{(H8799)} with my voice{H6963}: have mercy{H2603}{(H8798)} also upon me, and answer{H6030}{(H8798)} me.

When thou saidst, Seek{H1245}{(H8761)} ye my face{H6440}; my heart{H3820} said{H559}{(H8804)} unto thee, Thy face{H6440}, LORD{H3068}, will I seek{H1245}{(H8762)}.

Hide{H5641}{(H8686)} not thy face{H6440} far from me; put{H5186} not thy servant{H5650} away{H5186}{(H8686)} in anger{H639}: thou hast been my help{H5833}; leave{H5203}{(H8799)} me not, neither forsake{H5800}{(H8799)} me, O God{H430} of my salvation{H3468}.

When my father{H1} and my mother{H517} forsake{H5800}{(H8804)} me, then the LORD{H3068} will take me up{H622}{(H8799)}.

Teach{H3384}{(H8685)} me thy way{H1870}, O LORD{H3068}, and lead{H5148}{(H8798)} me in a plain{H4334} path{H734}, because of mine enemies{H8324}{(H8802)}.

Deliver{H5414}{(H8799)} me not over unto the will{H5315} of mine enemies{H6862}: for false{H8267} witnesses{H5707} are risen up{H6965}{(H8804)} against me, and such as breathe out{H3307} cruelty{H2555}.

I had fainted, unless{H3884} I had believed{H539}{(H8689)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} the goodness{H2898} of the LORD{H3068} in the land{H776} of the living{H2416}.

Wait{H6960}{(H8761)} on the LORD{H3068}: be of good courage{H2388}{(H8798)}, and he shall strengthen{H553}{(H8686)} thine heart{H3820}: wait{H6960}{(H8761)}, I say, on the LORD{H3068}.
