1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life;of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail meto eat up my flesh,my adversaries and foes,it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me,my heart shall not fear;though war arise against me,yet I will be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord,that will I seek after:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lordand to inquire in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in his shelterin the day of trouble;he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;he will lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted upabove my enemies all around me,and I will offer in his tentsacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
