1. By David. The LORD delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The LORD protects my life! I am afraid of no one!
|
1. A Psalm of David H1732 . The LORD H3068 is my light H216 and my salvation H3468 ; whom H4480 H4310 shall I fear H3372 ? the LORD H3068 is the strength H4581 of my life H2416 ; of whom H4480 H4310 shall I be afraid H6342 ?
|
|
2. When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.
|
2. When the wicked H7489 , even mine enemies H6862 and my foes H341 , came H7126 upon H5921 me to eat up H398 H853 my flesh H1320 , they H1992 stumbled H3782 and fell H5307 .
|
|
3. Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.
|
3. Though H518 a host H4264 should encamp H2583 against H5921 me , my heart H3820 shall not H3808 fear H3372 : though H518 war H4421 should rise H6965 against H5921 me , in this H2063 will I H589 be confident H982 .
|
|
4. I have asked the LORD for one thing� this is what I desire! I want to live in the LORD's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the LORD and contemplate in his temple.
|
4. One H259 thing have I desired H7592 of H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 , that will I seek after H1245 ; that I may dwell H3427 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 all H3605 the days H3117 of my life H2416 , to behold H2372 the beauty H5278 of the LORD H3068 , and to inquire H1239 in his temple H1964 .
|
|
5. He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.
|
5. For H3588 in the time H3117 of trouble H7451 he shall hide H6845 me in his pavilion H5520 : in the secret H5643 of his tabernacle H168 shall he hide H5641 me ; he shall set me up H7311 upon a rock H6697 .
|
|
6. Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the LORD!
|
6. And now H6258 shall mine head H7218 be lifted up H7311 above H5921 mine enemies H341 round about H5439 me : therefore will I offer H2076 in his tabernacle H168 sacrifices H2077 of joy H8643 ; I will sing H7891 , yea , I will sing praises H2167 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. Hear me, O LORD, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me!
|
7. Hear H8085 , O LORD H3068 , when I cry H7121 with my voice H6963 : have mercy H2603 also upon me , and answer H6030 me.
|
|
8. My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O LORD.
|
8. When thou saidst , Seek H1245 ye my face H6440 ; my heart H3820 said H559 unto thee, H853 Thy face H6440 , LORD H3068 , will I seek H1245 .
|
|
9. Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me!
|
9. Hide H5641 not H408 thy face H6440 far from H4480 me ; put not thy servant away H5186 H408 H5650 in anger H639 : thou hast been H1961 my help H5833 ; leave H5203 me not H408 , neither H408 forsake H5800 me , O God H430 of my salvation H3468 .
|
|
10. Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the LORD would take me in.
|
10. When H3588 my father H1 and my mother H517 forsake H5800 me , then the LORD H3068 will take me up H622 .
|
|
11. Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me!
|
11. Teach H3384 me thy way H1870 , O LORD H3068 , and lead H5148 me in a plain H4334 path H734 , because of H4616 mine enemies H8324 .
|
|
12. Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me.
|
12. Deliver H5414 me not H408 over unto the will H5315 of mine enemies H6862 : for H3588 false H8267 witnesses H5707 are risen up H6965 against me , and such as breathe out H3307 cruelty H2555 .
|
|
13. Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the LORD's favor in the land of the living?
|
13. I had fainted , unless H3884 I had believed H539 to see H7200 the goodness H2898 of the LORD H3068 in the land H776 of the living H2416 .
|
|
14. Rely on the LORD! Be strong and confident! Rely on the LORD!
|
14. Wait H6960 on H413 the LORD H3068 : be of good courage H2388 , and he shall strengthen H553 thine heart H3820 : wait H6960 , I say, on H413 the LORD H3068 .
