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?
1By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
2Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
2Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified <FI>are<Fi> 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 kindness <FI>is<Fi> before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually 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 men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
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 assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
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 wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
7Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
7To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
8My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
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.
9Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
10For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
10In whose hand <FI>is<Fi> a wicked device, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> full of bribes.
11Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
11And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour 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 hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
