| 1 | Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? |
| 2 | When evil-doers came at me to eat up my flesh, Even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. |
| 3 | Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, Even then I will be confident. |
| 4 | One thing have I asked of Yahweh, that will I seek after, That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To see the beauty of Yahweh, And to inquire in his temple. |
| 5 | For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tent will he hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. |
| 6 | Now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh. |
| 7 | Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me. |
| 8 | When you said, 'Seek my face,' My heart said to you, 'I will seek your face, Yahweh.' |
| 9 | Don't hide your face from me. Don't put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don't abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation. |
| 10 | When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Yahweh will take me up. |
| 11 | Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies. |
| 12 | Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen up against me, Such as breathe out cruelty. |
| 13 | I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. |
| 14 | Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. Psalm 28 By David. |
