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?
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 come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
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 doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I <FI>am<Fi> 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 <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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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.
7Hear, O Jehovah, my voice--I call, And favour 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.
8To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, 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, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor 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 Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
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.
11Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
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.
12Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
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.
