| 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 the house of Yahweh 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 covert 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. Psalm 28 By David. |
