1 Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?
2 When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies - mine! - they, stumbled and fell!
3 Though there pitch against me - a camp, my heart shall not fear, - Though there come up against me - a battle, still, am I confident.
4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, - That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, - He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
7 Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
8 To thee, said my heart - When thou saidst Seek ye my face - Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, - My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
