1«[A Psalm] 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? 2When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell. 3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident. 4One [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. 5For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke. 6And 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. 7Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lorde, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee. 8[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 9Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation. 10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 11Teache mee thy way, O Lorde, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies. 12Deliver 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 had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
