1The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
1Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
2Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
2Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
7Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
8Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
12My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
