1. The Lord is my light and the One Who saves me. Whom should I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom should I be afraid?
|
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 sinful men, and all who hated me, came against me to destroy my flesh, they tripped and fell.
|
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 if an army gathers against me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if war rises against me, I will be sure of You.
|
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. One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I will look for: that I may live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to look upon the beauty of the Lord, and to worship in His holy house.
|
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. For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His holy tent. In the secret place of His tent He will hide me. He will set me high upon a rock.
|
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. Then my head will be lifted up above all those around me who hate me. I will give gifts in His holy tent with a loud voice of joy. I will sing. Yes, 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. O Lord, listen to my cry. Show loving-kindness to 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. You have said, "Look for My face." My heart said to You, "O Lord, Your face will I look for."
|
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 hide Your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger. You have been my Helper. Do not turn away from me or leave me alone, O God Who saves 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. For my father and my mother have left me. But the Lord will take care of me.
|
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 Your way, O Lord. Lead me in a straight path, because of those who fight against 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 give me over to the desire of those who hate me. For people who tell lies about me rise against me, and breathe a desire to hurt 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. I would have been without hope if I had not believed that I would see the lovingkindness of the Lord 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. Wait for the Lord. Be strong. Let your heart be strong. Yes, wait for 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 .
