An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my alight and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The bLord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid? 
2 When the wicked came against me
To aeat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell. 
3 aThough an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident. 
4 aOne thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may bdwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the1 beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple. 
5 For ain the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall bset me high upon a rock. 
6 And now amy head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of1 joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. 
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 aDo not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation. 
10 aWhen my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me. 
11 aTeach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. 
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For afalse witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence. 
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
aIn the land of the living. 
14 aWait1 on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
