1 The LORD’s my light and saving help;
by whom am I dismayed?
The LORD’s the stronghold of my life–
of whom am I afraid?
2 When evildoers threaten me
to eat my flesh away,
my adversaries and my foes
will stumble in that day.
3 Although an army hems me in,
my heart will feel no dread;
though war against me should arise,
I will lift up my head.
4 One thing I have asked of the LORD:
to dwell with him always,
behold his beauty and receive
instruction in his ways.
5 For in his dwelling he will keep
me safe in troubled days;
6 and in his tent I’ll sacrifice
with shouts of joy and praise.
7 LORD, hear me when I call to you;
be merciful and speak!
8 “Come, seek my face!” you told my heart;
your face, LORD, will I seek.
9 O do not hide your face from me,
and do not turn aside
your servant in your righteous wrath,
for you have been my guide.
O God, my Savior, leave me not;
do not reject my plea.
10 My parents may forsake me, LORD,
but you will welcome me.
11 Teach me, O LORD, how I should live,
and lead me in your way;
12 do not give me over to those who
oppress me every day.
13 Yet I am sure that in this life
God’s goodness I will see.
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, take heart.
For him wait patiently.
