¹ [(0)] By David: [(1)] ADONAI is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? ADONAI is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?

² When evildoers assailed me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and foes, they stumbled and fell.

³ If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear; if war breaks out against me, even then I will keep trusting.

⁴ Just one thing have I asked of ADONAI; only this will I seek: to live in the house of ADONAI all the days of my life, to see the beauty of ADONAI and visit in his temple.

⁵ For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of trouble, he will hide me in the folds of his tent, he will set me high on a rock.

⁶ Then my head will be lifted up above my surrounding foes, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, sing praises to ADONAI.

⁷ Listen, ADONAI, to my voice when I cry; show favor to me; and answer me.

⁸ “My heart said of you, ‘Seek my face.’” Your face, ADONAI, I will seek.

⁹ Do not hide your face from me, don’t turn your servant away in anger. You are my help; don’t abandon me; don’t leave me, God my savior.

¹⁰ Even though my father and mother have left me, ADONAI will care for me.

¹¹ Teach me your way, ADONAI; lead me on a level path because of my enemies —

¹² don’t give me up to the whims of my foes; for false witnesses have risen against me, also those who are breathing violence.

¹³ If I hadn’t believed that I would see ADONAI’s goodness in the land of the living, . . .

¹⁴ Put your hope in ADONAI, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in ADONAI!
