1	A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear# ? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid# ?
			2	When the wicked# , even mine enemies and my foes# , came# upon me to eat up# my flesh, they stumbled# and fell# . [came...: Heb. approached against me]
			3	Though an host should encamp# against me, my heart shall not fear# : though war should rise# against me, in this will I be confident# .
			4	One thing have I desired# of the LORD, that will I seek# after; that I may dwell# in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold# the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire# in his temple. [the beauty: or, the delight]
			5	For in the time of trouble he shall hide# me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide# me; he shall set me up# upon a rock.
			6	And now shall mine head be lifted up# above mine enemies# round about me: therefore will I offer# in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing# , yea, I will sing praises# unto the LORD. [joy: Heb. shouting]
			7	Hear# , O LORD, when I cry# with my voice: have mercy# also upon me, and answer# me.
			8	When thou saidst , Seek# ye my face; my heart said# unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek# . [When...: or, My heart said unto thee, Let my face seek thy face, etc]
			9	Hide# not thy face far from me; put# not thy servant away# in anger: thou hast been my help; leave# me not, neither forsake# me, O God of my salvation.
			10	When my father and my mother forsake# me, then the LORD will take me up# . [take...: Heb. gather me]
			11	Teach# me thy way, O LORD, and lead# me in a plain path, because of mine enemies# . [a plain...: Heb. a way of plainness] [mine...: Heb. those which observe me]
			12	Deliver# me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up# against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
			13	I had fainted , unless I had believed# to see# the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
			14	Wait# on the LORD: be of good courage# , and he shall strengthen# thine heart: wait# , I say, on the LORD.
