1 Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,
even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after:
that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life,
to see Yahweh’s beauty,
and to inquire in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me.
He will lift me up on a rock.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me.
I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice.
Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8 When you said, "Seek my face,"
my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, Yahweh."
9 Don’t hide your face from me.
Don’t put your servant away in anger.
You have been my help.
Don’t abandon me,
neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
then Yahweh will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh.
Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen up against me,
such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
14 Wait for Yahweh.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage.
Yes, wait for Yahweh.
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。
