1 The LORD is my light and my salvation.

2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,

3 Though an army should encamp against me,

4 One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after:

5 For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.

6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me.

7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice.

8 When you said, “Seek my face,”

9 Don’t hide your face from me.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me,

11 Teach me your way, LORD.

12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,

13 I am still confident of this:

14 Wait for the LORD.
