Whom shall I fear?
The bLord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
Whom shall I fear?

Of whom shall I be afraid?
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.
My heart shall not fear;

All the days of my life,
To behold the1 beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
That will I seek:
That I may bdwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,

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.
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;

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.
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of1 joy in His tabernacle;

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.
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.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For afalse witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
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.
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!
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
