1“Of David.” The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread?
2When evil-doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.
3If an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war should arise against me, even then will I have trust.
4One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
