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 the wicked, even 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 will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, 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 the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, 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 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
1 耶和华是我的亮光， 是我的救恩， 我还怕谁呢？耶和华是我性命的避难所， 我还惧谁呢？（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 那些作恶的， 就是我的敌人、我的仇敌， 他们逼近我， 要吃我肉的时候， 就绊跌仆倒。
3 虽有军兵扎营攻击我， 我的心也不害怕； 虽然发动战争攻击我， 我仍旧安稳。
4 有一件事我求过耶和华， 我还要寻求； 我要一生一世住在耶和华的殿里， 瞻仰他的荣美， 在他的殿中求问。
5 因为在我遭难的日子， 他必把我藏在他的帐棚里， 把我隐藏在他帐幕的隐密处， 又把我高举在磐石上。
6 现在， 我可以抬起头来， 高过我四周的仇敌； 我要在他的帐幕里， 献上欢呼的祭； 我要歌唱， 颂赞耶和华。
7 耶和华啊！ 我发声呼求的时候， 求你垂听； 求你恩待我， 应允我。
8 你说： "你们要寻求我的面！ "那时我的心对你说： "耶和华啊！ 你的面我正要寻求。"
9 求你不要向我掩面， 不要发怒赶逐你的仆人， 你一向是帮助我的。拯救我的 神啊！ 求你不要撇下我， 也不要离弃我。
10 虽然我的父母离弃我， 耶和华却收留我。
11 耶和华啊！ 求你指示我你的道路； 为我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。
12 求你不要照着我敌人的心愿， 把我交给他们， 因为有作假见证的人起来攻击我， 并且口出凶暴的话。
13 我还是相信， 在活人之地， 我可以看见耶和华的恩惠。
14 你要等候耶和华， 要刚强， 要坚定你的心， 要等候耶和华。
