¹ The Lord is my ^(a)light and my ^(b)salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the ^[a](c)defense of my life;
^(d)Whom shall I dread?
² When evildoers came upon me to ^(e)devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they ^(f)stumbled and fell.
³ Though a ^(g)host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I ^[b]shall be ^(h)confident.

^4 (i)One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:
That I may ^(j)dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To behold ^(k)the ^[c]beauty of the Lord
And to ^[d](l)meditate in His temple.
⁵ For in the ^(m)day of trouble He will ⁽ⁿ⁾conceal me in His ^[e]tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will ^(o)hide me;
He will ^(p)lift me up on a rock.
⁶ And now ^(q)my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent ^(r)sacrifices ^[f]with shouts of joy;
I will ^(s)sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

^7 (t)Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and ^(u)answer me.
⁸ When You said, "^(v)Seek My face," my heart said to You,
"Your face, O Lord, ^(w)I shall seek."
^9 (x)Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in ^(y)anger;
You have been ^(z)my help;
^(aa)Do not abandon me nor ^(ab)forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
^10 [g]For my father and ^(ac)my mother have forsaken me,
But ^(ad)the Lord will take me up.

^11 (ae)Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a ^(af)level path
Because of ^[h]my foes.
¹² Do not deliver me over to the ^[i](ag)desire of my adversaries,
For ^(ah)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as ^(ai)breathe out violence.
^13 [j]I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the ^(aj)goodness of the Lord
In the ^(ak)land of the living.
^14 (al)Wait for the Lord;
Be ^(am)strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
