The Lord is my salvation

1
A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
2
When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
3
Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
4
One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
5
For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
6
And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
7
Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
8
When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
9
Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
10
Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
11
Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12
Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
13
I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
14
Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.

The Lord is my salvation

1
The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3
Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4
One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
5
For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6
Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7
Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8
When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”
9
Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11
Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12
Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
13
I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14
Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
