1
The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
2
When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.
3
Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.
4
The one thing I ask of the LORD — the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD ’s perfections and meditating in his Temple.
5
For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock.
