1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. 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?1לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אוֹרִ֣י וְ֭יִשְׁעִי מִמִּ֣י אִירָ֑א יְהוָ֥ה מָֽעוֹז־ חַ֝יַּ֗י מִמִּ֥י אֶפְחָֽד׃
2When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.2בִּקְרֹ֤ב עָלַ֨י ׀ מְרֵעִים֮ לֶאֱכֹ֪ל אֶת־ בְּשָׂ֫רִ֥י צָרַ֣י וְאֹיְבַ֣י לִ֑י הֵ֖מָּה כָשְׁל֣וּ וְנָפָֽלוּ׃
3Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.3אִם־ תַּחֲנֶ֬ה עָלַ֨י ׀ מַחֲנֶה֮ לֹֽא־ יִירָ֪א לִ֫בִּ֥י אִם־ תָּק֣וּם עָ֭לַי מִלְחָמָ֑ה בְּ֝זֹ֗את אֲנִ֣י בוֹטֵֽחַ׃
4One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: 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 inquire in His temple.4אַחַ֤ת ׀ שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־ יְהוָה֮ אוֹתָ֪הּ אֲבַ֫קֵּ֥שׁ שִׁבְתִּ֣י בְּבֵית־ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־ יְמֵ֣י חַיַּ֑י לַחֲז֥וֹת בְּנֹֽעַם־ יְ֝הוָ֗ה וּלְבַקֵּ֥ר בְּהֵיכָלֽוֹ׃
5For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.5כִּ֤י יִצְפְּנֵ֨נִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה֮ בְּי֪וֹם רָ֫עָ֥ה יַ֭סְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵ֣תֶר אָהֳל֑וֹ בְּ֝צ֗וּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי׃
6And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.6וְעַתָּ֨ה יָר֪וּם רֹאשִׁ֡י עַ֤ל אֹֽיְבַ֬י סְֽבִיבוֹתַ֗י וְאֶזְבְּחָ֣ה בְ֭אָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ירָה וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה לַיהוָֽה׃
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.7שְׁמַע־ יְהוָ֖ה קוֹלִ֥י אֶקְרָ֗א וְחָנֵּ֥נִי וַעֲנֵֽנִי׃
8When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”8לְךָ֤ ׀ אָמַ֣ר לִ֭בִּי בַּקְּשׁ֣וּ פָנָ֑י אֶת־ פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃
9Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.9אַל־ תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי֮ אַֽל־ תַּט־ בְּאַ֗ף עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ עֶזְרָתִ֥י הָיִ֑יתָ אַֽל־ תִּטְּשֵׁ֥נִי וְאַל־ תַּֽ֝עַזְבֵ֗נִי אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃
10When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.10כִּי־ אָבִ֣י וְאִמִּ֣י עֲזָב֑וּנִי וַֽיהוָ֣ה יַֽאַסְפֵֽנִי׃
11Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.11ה֤וֹרֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֗ה דַּ֫רְכֶּ֥ךָ וּ֭נְחֵנִי בְּאֹ֣רַח מִישׁ֑וֹר לְ֝מַ֗עַן שׁוֹרְרָֽי׃
12Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.12אַֽל־ תִּ֭תְּנֵנִי בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ צָרָ֑י כִּ֥י קָֽמוּ־ בִ֥י עֵֽדֵי־ שֶׁ֝֗קֶר וִיפֵ֥חַ חָמָֽס׃
13I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.13לׅׄוּלֵׅׄ֗אׅׄ‪‬ הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי לִרְא֥וֹת בְּֽטוּב־ יְהוָ֗ה בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּֽים׃
14Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!14קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל־ יְה֫וָ֥ה חֲ֭זַק וְיַאֲמֵ֣ץ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל־ יְהוָֽה׃
