A Psalm of David.
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?
02 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my
foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell.
03 Though an host should encamp against me, my
heart shall not fear: though war should rise
against me, in this will I be confident.
04 One thing have I desired 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 behold
the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his
temple.
05 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in
his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle
shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
06 And now shall mine head be lifted up above
mine enemies round about me: therefore will I
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will
sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
07 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have
mercy also upon me, and answer me.

08 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart
said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
09 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy
servant away in anger: thou hast been my help;
leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my
salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then
the Lord will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a
plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine
enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against
me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to 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 thine heart: wait, I say, on the
Lord.
