¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?² When the evildoers, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell.³ If an army should camp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rises against me, in this I am trusting.⁴ One thing I have asked from Jehovah, it I will seek: my dwelling in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the delight of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple.⁵ For in the day of evil He shall hide me in His shelter; in the secrecy of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me up on a rock.⁶ And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies, my encirclers, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah.

⁷ Hear, O Jehovah, my voice when I call, and favor me, and answer me.⁸ My heart said to You, Seek my face; Your face, O Jehovah, I will seek.⁹ Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn away Your servant in anger; You have been my help, do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.¹⁰ When my father and my mother forsake me then Jehovah will take me up.¹¹ Teach me Your way, O Jehovah, and lead me in a level path, because of those who watch me.¹² Do not give me into the soul of my foes; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and the ones breathing out violence.¹³ I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.¹⁴ Hope in Jehovah; be strong and He will make strong your heart; yea, hope in Jehovah!
