¹ Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?² When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies - mine! - they, stumbled and fell!³ Though there pitch against me - a camp, my heart shall not fear, - Though there come up against me - a battle, still, am I confident.⁴ One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, - That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.⁵ For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, - He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.⁶ Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.

⁷ Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.⁸ To thee, said my heart - When thou saidst Seek ye my face - Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!⁹ Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, - My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!¹⁰ When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!¹¹ Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, - And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.¹² Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.¹³ I believe that I shall see - The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,¹⁴ Wait thou for Yahweh, - Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
