The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
1
The LORD is my 1light and my 2salvation; 3whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strongholda of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When evildoers assail me to 4eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
3
5Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yetb I will be confident.
4
6One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may 7dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon 8the beauty of the LORD and to inquirec in his temple.
5
For he will 9hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will 10lift me high upon a rock.
6
And now my 11head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of 12joy; 13I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
9
16Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, 17O God of my salvation!
