| 1. | {By David.} Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? |
Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me? |
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. | When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame. | When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, 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. | Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved. | 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 I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple. | One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple. | 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 day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. | For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me. | 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. | 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 Yahweh. | And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord. | 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, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me. | O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer. | Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. | ||
| 8. | When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, Yahweh." | When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search. | When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. | ||
| 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. | Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation. | 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 Yahweh will take me up. | When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support. | When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. | ||
| 11. | Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies. | Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters. | Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine 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. | Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction. | 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 am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. | I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living. | I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. | ||
| 14. | Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. | Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord. | Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. | ||
