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 the wicked advance against meto devour me,it is my enemies and my foeswho will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear;though war break out against me,even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lordand to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of troublehe will keep me safe in his dwelling;he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tentand set me high upon a rock.
