1 H1732 A Psalm of David H3068 . The LORD H216 is my light H3468 and my salvation H3372 ; whom shall I fear [H8799] H3068 ? the LORD H4581 is the strength H2416 of my life H6342 ; of whom shall I be afraid [H8799] ?

2 H7489 When the wicked [H8688] H6862 , even mine enemies H341 and my foes [H8802] H7126 , came [H8800] H398 upon me to eat up [H8800] H1320 my flesh H3782 , they stumbled [H8804] H5307 and fell [H8804] .

3 H4264 Though an host H2583 should encamp [H8799] H3820 against me, my heart H3372 shall not fear [H8799] H4421 : though war H6965 should rise [H8799] H982 against me, in this will I be confident [H8802] .

4 H259 One H7592 thing have I desired [H8804] H3068 of the LORD H1245 , that will I seek [H8762] H3427 after; that I may dwell [H8800] H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD H3117 all the days H2416 of my life H2372 , to behold [H8800] H5278 the beauty H3068 of the LORD H1239 , and to enquire [H8763] H1964 in his temple.

5 H3117 For in the time H7451 of trouble H6845 he shall hide [H8799] H5520 me in his pavilion H5643 : in the secret H168 of his tabernacle H5641 shall he hide [H8686] H7311 me; he shall set me up [H8787] H6697 upon a rock.

6 H7218 And now shall mine head H7311 be lifted up [H8799] H341 above mine enemies [H8802] H5439 round about H2076 me: therefore will I offer [H8799] H168 in his tabernacle H2077 sacrifices H8643 of joy H7891 ; I will sing [H8799] H2167 , yea, I will sing praises [H8762] H3068 unto the LORD.

7 H8085 Hear [H8798] H3068 , O LORD H7121 , when I cry [H8799] H6963 with my voice H2603 : have mercy [H8798] H6030 also upon me, and answer [H8798] me.

8 H1245 When thou saidst, Seek [H8761] H6440 ye my face H3820 ; my heart H559 said [H8804] H6440 unto thee, Thy face H3068 , LORD H1245 , will I seek [H8762] .

9 H5641 Hide [H8686] H6440 not thy face H5186 far from me; put H5650 not thy servant H5186 away [H8686] H639 in anger H5833 : thou hast been my help H5203 ; leave [H8799] H5800 me not, neither forsake [H8799] H430 me, O God H3468 of my salvation.

10 H1 When my father H517 and my mother H5800 forsake [H8804] H3068 me, then the LORD H622 will take me up [H8799] .

11 H3384 Teach [H8685] H1870 me thy way H3068 , O LORD H5148 , and lead [H8798] H4334 me in a plain H734 path H8324 , because of mine enemies [H8802] .

12 H5414 Deliver [H8799] H5315 me not over unto the will H6862 of mine enemies H8267 : for false H5707 witnesses H6965 are risen up [H8804] H3307 against me, and such as breathe out H2555 cruelty.

13 H3884 I had fainted, unless H539 I had believed [H8689] H7200 to see [H8800] H2898 the goodness H3068 of the LORD H776 in the land H2416 of the living.

14 H6960 Wait [H8761] H3068 on the LORD H2388 : be of good courage [H8798] H553 , and he shall strengthen [H8686] H3820 thine heart H6960 : wait [H8761] H3068 , I say, on the LORD.
