1 Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

2 When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.

3 Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

4 One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

6 And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

7 O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.

8 When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.

9 Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.

11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.

12 Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.

13 I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

1 耶和华是我的亮光， 是我的救恩， 我还怕谁呢？耶和华是我性命的避难所， 我还惧谁呢？（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）

2 那些作恶的， 就是我的敌人、我的仇敌， 他们逼近我， 要吃我肉的时候， 就绊跌仆倒。

3 虽有军兵扎营攻击我， 我的心也不害怕； 虽然发动战争攻击我， 我仍旧安稳。

4 有一件事我求过耶和华， 我还要寻求； 我要一生一世住在耶和华的殿里， 瞻仰他的荣美， 在他的殿中求问。

5 因为在我遭难的日子， 他必把我藏在他的帐棚里， 把我隐藏在他帐幕的隐密处， 又把我高举在磐石上。

6 现在， 我可以抬起头来， 高过我四周的仇敌； 我要在他的帐幕里， 献上欢呼的祭； 我要歌唱， 颂赞耶和华。

7 耶和华啊！ 我发声呼求的时候， 求你垂听； 求你恩待我， 应允我。

8 你说： "你们要寻求我的面！ "那时我的心对你说： "耶和华啊！ 你的面我正要寻求。"

9 求你不要向我掩面， 不要发怒赶逐你的仆人， 你一向是帮助我的。拯救我的 神啊！ 求你不要撇下我， 也不要离弃我。

10 虽然我的父母离弃我， 耶和华却收留我。

11 耶和华啊！ 求你指示我你的道路； 为我仇敌的缘故引导我走平坦的路。

12 求你不要照着我敌人的心愿， 把我交给他们， 因为有作假见证的人起来攻击我， 并且口出凶暴的话。

13 我还是相信， 在活人之地， 我可以看见耶和华的恩惠。

14 你要等候耶和华， 要刚强， 要坚定你的心， 要等候耶和华。
