Of David.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 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?
2 When evildoers assail me
to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart<\/mark> shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet I will be confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek<\/mark> after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in His temple.
5 For He will hide<\/mark> me in His shelter
in the day of trouble;
He will conceal me under the cover of His tent;
He will lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in His tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 You have said, \u201cSeek<\/mark> my face.\u201d
My heart says to you,
\u201cYour face, Lord, do I seek<\/mark>.\u201d
9 Hide<\/mark> 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,
O God of my salvation!
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will take me in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart<\/mark> take courage;
wait for the Lord!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
