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 Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
1By David. Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
2When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
2 When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
2When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
3Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
3 If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.
3Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I <FI>am<Fi> 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.
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.
4One <FI>thing<Fi> I asked of Jehovah--it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire 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.
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.
5For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
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.
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.
6And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies--my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
7 Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.
7Hear, O Jehovah, my voice--I call, And favour me, and answer me.
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
8 My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.
8To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, 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.
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.
9Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.
10 For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.
10When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
11Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
11 Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.
11Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.
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.
12Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
