By David.
[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 evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,
even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
[3] Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
even then I will be confident.
[4] One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after:
that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life,
to see Yahweh’s beauty,
and to inquire in his temple.
[5] For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me.
He will lift me up on a rock.
[6] Now my head will 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.
King James Version
A Psalm of David. H1732
[1] The Lord H3068 is my light H216 and my salvation; H3468 whom shall I fear? H3372 (QalImpf)The Lord H3068 is the strength H4581 of my life; H2416 of whom shall I be afraid? H6342 (QalImpf)
[2] When the wicked, H7489 (HiphPtc) even mine enemies H6862 and my foes, H341 (QalActPtc) came H7126 (QalInf) upon me§ to eat up H398 (QalInf) my flesh, H1320
They stumbled H3782 (QalPerf) and fell. H5307 (QalPerf)
[3] Though an host H4264 should encamp H2583 (QalImpf) against me, my heart H3820 shall not fear: H3372 (QalImpf)
Though war H4421 should rise H6965 (QalImpf) against me, in this will I be confident. H982 (QalActPtc)
[4] One H259 thing have I desired H7592 (QalPerf) of the Lord, H3068 that will I seek H1245 (PielImpf) after;
That I may dwell H3427 (QalInf) in the house H1004 of the Lord H3068 all the days H3117 of my life, H2416
To behold H2372 (QalInf) the beauty H5278§ of the Lord, H3068 and to enquire H1239 (PielInf) in his temple. H1964
[5] For in the time H3117 of trouble H7451 he shall hide H6845 (QalImpf) me in his pavilion: H5520
In the secret H5643 of his tabernacle H168 shall he hide H5641 (HiphImpf) me; he shall set me up H7311 (PoleImpf) upon a rock. H6697
[6] And now shall mine head H7218 be lifted up, H7311 (QalImpf)
Above mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) round about H5439 me:
Therefore will I offer H2076 (QalImpf) in his tabernacle H168 sacrifices H2077 of joy; H8643§
I will sing, H7891 (QalImpf) yea, I will sing praises H2167 (PielImpf) unto the Lord. H3068
[7] Hear, H8085 (QalImpv) O Lord, H3068 when I cry H7121 (QalImpf) with my voice: H6963
Have mercy H2603 (QalImpv) also upon me, and answer H6030 (QalImpv) me.
[8] When thou saidst, Seek H1245 (PielImpv) ye my face; H6440 my heart H3820 said H559 (QalPerf) unto thee,§
Thy face, H6440 Lord, H3068 will I seek. H1245 (PielImpf)
[9] Hide H5641 (HiphImpf) not thy face H6440 far from me;
Put H5186 not thy servant H5650 away H5186 (HiphImpf) in anger: H639
Thou hast been my help; H5833
Leave H5203 (QalImpf) me not, neither forsake H5800 (QalImpf) me, O God H430 of my salvation. H3468
[10] When my father H1 and my mother H517 forsake H5800 (QalPerf) me,
Then the Lord H3068 will take me up. H622 (QalImpf)§
[11] Teach H3384 (HiphImpv) me thy way, H1870 O Lord, H3068
And lead H5148 (QalImpv) me in a plain H4334 path, H734§ because of mine enemies. H8324 (QalActPtc)§
[12] Deliver H5414 (QalImpf) me not over unto the will H5315 of mine enemies: H6862
For false H8267 witnesses H5707 are risen up H6965 (QalPerf) against me, and such as breathe out H3307 cruelty. H2555
[13] I had fainted,
Unless H3884 I had believed H539 (HiphPerf) to see H7200 (QalInf) the goodness H2898 of the Lord H3068 in the land H776 of the living. H2416
[14] Wait H6960 (PielImpv) on the Lord: H3068
Be of good courage, H2388 (QalImpv) and he shall strengthen H553 (HiphImpf) thine heart: H3820 wait, H6960 (PielImpv) I say, on the Lord. H3068
