1 To David. Jehovah my light and my saviour; of whom shall I be afraid? Jehovah the strength of my life; from whom shall I tremble?
2 In the drawing near of those doing evil to me, to eat my flesh, adversaries and enemies to me, they were weak and fell
3 If a camp shall encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war shall rise up against me, in this I trust
4 I asked one from Jehovah, I will seek it; I sat in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to look upon the sweetness of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in the booth in the day of evil: he will cover me with the covering of his tent; he will lift me up upon a rock.
6 And now he will lift up my head over mine enemies round about me: and I will sacrifice in his tent sacrifices of rejoicing; I will sing and I will play on the harp to Jehovah.
7 Hear my voice, O Jehovah: I will call, and pity me and answer me.
8 My heart said to thee, Seek .ye my face; thy face, O Jehovah, I will seek.
9 Thou wilt not cover thy face from me; thou wilt not turn away thy servant in anger: thou, wert my help; thou wilt not leave me and thou wilt not forsake me, my God saving me.
10 For my father and my mother forsook me, and Jehovah will gather me.
