my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my

foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise

against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that

will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle

shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will

I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto

the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have

mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart

said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy

servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of

my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then

the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a

plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine

enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the

living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and

he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
