A Psalm of David.
The LORD
is my light
and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
the LORD
is the strength
of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
protector
ὑπερασπιστὴς
hyperaspistēs
When the wicked,
even mine enemies
and my foes,
came
upon me to eat up
my flesh,
they stumbled
and fell.
Though an host
should encamp
against me, my heart
shall not fear:
though war
should rise
against me, in this will I be confident.
One
thing have I desired
of the LORD,
that will I seek
after; that I may dwell
in the house
of the LORD
all the days
of my life,
to behold
the beauty
of the LORD,
and to enquire
in his temple.
delightfulness
τερπνότητα
terpnotēta
For in the time
of trouble
he shall hide
me in his pavilion:
in the secret
of his tabernacle
shall he hide
me; he shall set me up
upon a rock.
And now shall mine head
be lifted up
above mine enemies
round about
me: therefore will I offer
in his tabernacle
sacrifices
of joy;
I will sing,
yea, I will sing praises
unto the LORD.
shouting
ἀλαλαγμοῦ
alalagmou
Hear,
O LORD,
when I cry
with my voice:
have mercy
also upon me, and answer
me.
When thou saidst, Seek
ye my face;
my heart
said
unto thee, Thy face,
LORD,
will I seek.
Hide
not thy face
far from me; put
not thy servant
away
in anger:
thou hast been my help;
leave
me not, neither forsake
me, O God
of my salvation.
dismiss
ἀποσκορακίσῃς
aposkorakisēs
When my father
and my mother
forsake
me, then the LORD
will take me up.
Teach
me thy way,
O LORD,
and lead
me in a plain
path,
because of mine enemies.
Deliver
me not over unto the will
of mine enemies:
for false
witnesses
are risen up
against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.
I had fainted, unless
I had believed
to see
the goodness
of the LORD
in the land
of the living.
Wait
on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen
thine heart:
wait,
I say, on the LORD.
