The LORD Is My Salvation 1The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— 2When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell. 3Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, 4One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD 5For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock. 6Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. 7Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; 8My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek. 9Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, 10Though my father and mother forsake me, 11Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, 12Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, 13Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD 14Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous.
