1 The lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?The lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,so why should I tremble?
2 When evil people come to devour me,when my enemies and foes attack me,they will stumble and fall.
3 Though a mighty army surrounds me,my heart will not be afraid.Even if I am attacked,I will remain confident.
4 The one thing I ask of the lord—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the lord all the days of my life,delighting in the lord’s perfectionsand meditating in his Temple.
5 For he will conceal me there when troubles come;he will hide me in his sanctuary.He will place me out of reach on a high rock.
