1 The LORD is my light and my
salvation;
I will fear on one.
The LORD protects me from all
danger;
I will never be afraid.
2 When evil people attack me and try
to kill me,
they stumble and fall.
3 Even if a whole army surrounds
me,
I will not be afraid;
even if enemies attack me,
I will still trust God.
4 I have asked the LORD for one
thing;
one thing only do I want:
to live in the LORD's house all my
life,
to marvel there at his goodness,
and to ask for his guidance.
5 In times of trouble he will shelter
me,
he will keep me safe in his
Temple
and make me secure on a high
rock.
6 So I will triumph over my enemies
around me.
With shouts of joy I will offer
sacrifices in his Temple;
I will sing, I will praise the
LORD.
7 Hear me, LORD, when I call to you!
Be mreciful and answer me!
8When you said, "Come
worship me,"
I answered, "I will come, LORD."
9 Don;t hide yourself from me!
Don't be angry with me;
don't turn your servant away.
You have been my help;
don't leave me, don't abandon
me,
O God, my savior.
10 My father and mother may
abandon me,
but the LORD will take care
of me.
11 Teach me, LORD, what you want
me to do,
and lead me along a safe path,
because I have many enemies,
12 Don't abandon me to my enemies
who attack me with lies and
threats.
13 I know that I will live to see
the LORD's goodness in this
present life.
14 Trust in the LORD
Have faith, do not despair.
Trust in the LORD.
