The Lord is my salvation

Yahweh is the one who gives me life and the one who saves me, so I do not need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.

When those who do evil come near me to destroy me, they stumble and fall down.

Even if an army surrounds me, I will not be afraid. Even if they attack me, I will trust in God.

There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: that I may worship in Yahweh’s house every day during my life, that I may see how wonderful Yahweh is, and that I may ask him what he wants me to do.

He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his sacred tent. He will set me safely on a high rock.

Then I will triumph over my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his sacred tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.

Yahweh, listen to me while I call to you. Act kindly toward me and answer my prayer.

Within my inner being I desire to worship you, so, Yahweh, I will come to your temple to pray to you.

I am your servant; do not be angry with me, or turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me now.

Even if my father and mother desert me, Yahweh always takes care of me.

Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.

Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and threaten to do violent things to me.

I would have died if I had not trusted you to be good to me as long as I live.

So trust in Yahweh! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him to help you!

The Lord is my salvation

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?

When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

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.

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.

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.

Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”

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.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
