1. יְהוָ֥ה my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? יְהוָ֥ה the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2. When the wicked, mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this I confident.

4. One have I desired of יְהוָ֥ה, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of יְהוָ֥ה all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of יְהוָ֥ה, and to enquire in his temple.

5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto יְהוָ֥ה.

7. Hear, O יְהוָ֥ה, I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8. Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, יְהוָ֥ה, will I seek.

9. Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation.

10. When my father and my mother forsake me, then יְהוָ֥ה will take me up.

11. Teach me thy way, O יְהוָ֥ה, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13. unless I had believed to see the goodness of יְהוָ֥ה in the land of the living.

14. Wait on יְהוָ֥ה: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on יְהוָ֥ה.
