Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

[A psalm] of David. The L rd is my light and my help. Whom shall I fear? The L rd is the strength of my life. Who shall affright me?

When the wicked, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

When evildoers draw near to devour my flesh — my oppressors and my foes — they stumble and fall.

Though a host should camp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

If a camp encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. If a war arise against me, in this [(the above creed)] I trust.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

One thing have I asked of the L rd. That shall I seek. To sit in the house of the L rd all the days of my life. To look upon the pleasantness of the L rd and to pay attendance every morning in His sanctuary.

For in the day of evil he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the covert of his tent he shall hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

For [I know that] He will secure me in His sanctuary. On an evil day He will hide me in the covert of His tent. [As] on a rock, He will lift me.

And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, and I will make melody to the Lord.

And now, let my head be [ever] lifted above my foes roundabout, and [then] I shall slaughter in His tent offerings of exultation [i.e., accompanied by song]. I shall sing and intone psalms to the L rd.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: be gracious to me, and answer me.

Hear, O L rd, my voice as I call; and be gracious unto me, and answer me.

Of Thee my heart has said, Seek my face. Thy face, O Lord, I seek.

On Your behalf [i.e., as Your emissary], my heart says: "Seek My presence [Israel]." [And, accordingly,] Your presence, O L rd, will I seek.

Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Do not hide Your face from me. Do not subdue Your servant with [Your] wrath. You have [ever] been my help. Do not leave me and do not forsake me, O G d of my salvation.

For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me up.

For my father and my mother have left me, but the L rd has gathered me in.

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.

Teach me, O L rd, Your ways, and lead me in a straight path for the sake of [the undoing of] those who eye me [for evil].

Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

Deliver me not to the desire of my foes; for false witnesses have risen against me, and spouters of violence.

Were it not that I believed I should see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

[And they would already have destroyed me] had I not believed in seeing the good of the L rd in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart: and wait on the Lord.

Hope to the L rd; be strong, and let your heart take courage, and [(if your prayer is not answered, then, again,)] hope to the L rd.
