1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
1 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?
1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
2When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.
2 When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
3Even 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.
3 If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.
4One 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.
4 One [thing] have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire [of him] in his temple.
5For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
5For 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.
5 For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.
6And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
6And 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.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
7O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.
7 Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
8When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
8 My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.
9Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
9Let 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.
9 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, OGod of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.
10When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
10 For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.
11Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
11Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.
11 Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.
12Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.
12 Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
