A Psalm of David.
Jehovah is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
Jehovah is the {Or, stronghold}strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh,
Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Though a host should encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me,
{Or, In this}Even then will I be confident.
One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:
That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,
To behold {Or, the pleasantness}the beauty of Jehovah,
And to {Or, consider his temple}inquire in his temple.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:
In the covert of his {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle will he hide me;
He will lift me up upon a rock.
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;
And I will offer in his {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle sacrifices of {Or, shouting Or, trumpet-sounding}joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice:
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
Hide not thy face from me;
Put not thy servant away in anger:
Thou hast been my help;
Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
{Or, For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But Jehovah &c.}When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then Jehovah will take me up.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;
And lead me in a plain path,
Because of {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries:
For false witnesses are risen up against me,
And such as breathe out cruelty.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah
In the land of the living.
Wait for Jehovah:
Be strong, and let thy heart take courage;
Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.
