The LORD is my light

¹Of David. The LORD is my light and the one who saves me; who is there for me to fear? The LORD is the fortress that guards my life; who could make me tremble? ²When evil people closed in on me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies, they themselves tripped and went down. ³If an army sets up camp against me, my heart will not be afraid; if war rises up against me, I will still hold on to my trust. ⁴I have asked the LORD for one thing, and it is what I am looking for: to live in the house of the LORD as long as I live, to look on the loveliness of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. ⁵When the day of trouble comes, he will tuck me away in his shelter, keep me hidden deep inside his tent, and put me up on a rock out of reach. ⁶So now I will hold my head high over the enemies who surround me; in his tent I will offer sacrifices with joyful shouting, and I will sing and play music for the LORD. ⁷LORD, listen as I cry out to you; show me grace and answer me. ⁸My heart says to you what you have said: “Seek my face.” So I will seek your face, LORD.^{a 9}Do not turn your face away from me or send your servant off in anger. You have always been my help; do not let go of me or leave me, God who saves me. ¹⁰If my father and my mother were to leave me, the LORD would still gather me in. ¹¹LORD, teach me your way; guide me along a smooth path, for there are enemies watching me. ¹²Do not hand me over to what my enemies want, for lying witnesses have stood up against me, people who breathe out violence. ¹³Had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD while still among the living, where would I be?^{b 14}Keep waiting for the LORD. Stand firm and be brave in heart. Yes, wait for the LORD.
