The LORD is my light and my salvation-- so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? |
2
|
When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. |
3
|
Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. |
4
|
The one thing I ask of the LORD-- the thing I seek most-- is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD's perfections and meditating in his Temple. |
5
|
For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. |
6
|
Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the LORD with music. |
7
|
Hear me as I pray, O LORD. Be merciful and answer me! |
8
|
My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming." |
9
|
Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now; don't abandon me, O God of my salvation! |
10
|
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close. |
11
|
Teach me how to live, O LORD. Lead me along the right path, for my enemies are waiting for me. |
12
|
Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I've never done; with every breath they threaten me with violence. |
13
|
Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. |
14
|
Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. A psalm of David. |
