1 The Lord is my light and the one who saves me.So why should I fear anyone?The Lord protects my life.So why should I be afraid?
2 Evil people may try to destroy my body.My enemies and those who hate me attack me,but they are overwhelmed and defeated.
3 If an army surrounds me,I will not be afraid.If war breaks out,I will trust the Lord.
4 I ask only one thing from the Lord.This is what I want:Let me live in the Lord’s houseall my life.Let me see the Lord’s beautyand look with my own eyes at his Temple.
5 During danger he will keep me safe in his shelter.He will hide me in his Holy Tent,or he will keep me safe on a high mountain.
6 My head is higher than my enemies around me.I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent.I will sing and praise the Lord.
7 Lord, hear me when I call;have mercy and answer me.
