Of David.{HR}Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation;{HR}Whom shall I fear?{HR}Jehovah is the fortress of my life;{HR}Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil doers drew near unto me to eat my flesh,{HR}Mine adversaries and mine enemies against me,{HR}They stumbled and fell.
Though a host encamp against me, my heart doth not fear;{HR}Though war rise up against me, in this I [am] confident.
One [thing] have I asked from Jehovah, that will I seek after;{HR}To dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,{HR}To gaze upon the beauty of Jehovah and to consider in his temple.
For he will hide me in his tabernacle in the day of evil;{HR}In the secret place of his tent will he hide me;{HR}He will set me upon a rock.
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me,{HR}And I will sacrifice in his tent sacrifices of joyful noise,{HR}I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
Hear, O Jehovah, my voice: I call,{HR}And be thou merciful unto me, and answer me.
Unto thee my heart said, Seek ye my face:{HR}Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek;
Hide not thy face from me,{HR}Turn not away in anger thy servant;{HR}Thou hast been my help;{HR}Leave me not and forsake me not,{HR}O God of my salvation.
For my father and my mother have forsaken me,{HR}But Jehovah gathereth me.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah,{HR}And lead me in a path of righteousness{HR}Because of those who watch for me.
Give me not unto the will of mine adversaries,{HR}For witnesses of falsehood have risen up against me{HR}And he that breatheth out violence.
If I had not trusted{HR}To look upon the goodness of Jehovah{HR}In the land of the living!
Wait for Jehovah;{HR}Be strong, and he shall strengthen thy heart;{HR}Yea, wait for Jehovah.
