The LORD is my ^(C1)light and my ^(C2)salvation; Whom should I fear? The LORD is the ^(F1)(C3)defense of my life; ^(C4)Whom should I dread?

When evildoers came upon me to ^(C1)devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they ^(C2)stumbled and fell.

If an ^(C1)army encamps against me, My heart will not fear; If war arises against me, In spite of this I am ^(C2)confident.

^(C1)One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may ^(C2)dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold ^(C3)the ^(F1)beauty of the LORD And to ^(F2)(C4)meditate in His temple.

For on the ^(C1)day of trouble He will ^(C2)conceal me in His ^(F1)tabernacle; He will ^(C3)hide me in the secret place of His tent; He will ^(C4)lift me up on a rock.

And now ^(C1)my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer ^(C2)sacrifices in His tent ^(F1)with shouts of joy; I will ^(C3)sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

^(C1)Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and ^(C2)answer me.

When You said, "^(C1)Seek My face," my heart said to You, "^(C2)I shall seek Your face, LORD."

^(C1)Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in ^(C2)anger; You have been ^(C3)my help; ^(C4)Do not abandon me nor ^(C5)forsake me, God of my salvation!

^(F1)For my father and ^(C1)my mother have forsaken me, But ^(C2)the LORD will take me up.

^(C1)Teach me Your way, LORD, And lead me on a ^(C2)level path Because of my enemies.

Do not turn me over to the ^(F1)(C1)desire of my enemies, For ^(C2)false witnesses have risen against me, And the violent ^(C3)witness.

I certainly believed that I would see the ^(C1)goodness of the LORD In the ^(C2)land of the living.

^(C1)Wait for the LORD; Be ^(C2)strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
