1 The Lord delivers and vindicates me!I fear no one!The Lord protects my life!I am afraid of no one!
2 When evil men attack meto devour my flesh,when my adversaries and enemies attack me,they stumble and fall.
3 Even when an army is deployed against me,I do not fear.Even when war is imminent,I remain confident.
4 I have asked the Lord for one thing – this is what I desire!I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life,so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lordand contemplate in his temple.
5 He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger;he will hide me in his home;he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.
6 Now I will triumphover my enemies who surround me!I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy!I will sing praises to the Lord!
