| 1 [[David's.]] Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread? |
|
| 2 When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies–mine!–they, stumbled and fell! |
|
| 3 Though there pitch against me–a camp, my heart shall not fear,–Though there come up against me–a battle, still, am I confident. |
|
| 4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure,–That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple. |
|
| 5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity,–He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high. |
|
| 6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh. |

| 7 Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me. |
|
| 8 To thee, said my heart–[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face–Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek! |
|
| 9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant,–My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God! |
|
| 10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up! |
|
| 11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way,–And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries. |
|
| 12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence. |
|
| 13 I believe that I shall see–The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living, |
|
| 14 Wait thou for Yahweh,–Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh! |
