1Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread? 1לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אוֹרִ֣י וְ֭יִשְׁעִי מִמִּ֣י אִירָ֑א יְהוָ֥ה מָֽעוֹז־ חַ֝יַּ֗י מִמִּ֥י אֶפְחָֽד׃
2When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell. 2בִּקְרֹ֤ב עָלַ֨י ׀ מְרֵעִים֮ לֶאֱכֹ֪ל אֶת־ בְּשָׂ֫רִ֥י צָרַ֣י וְאֹיְבַ֣י לִ֑י הֵ֖מָּה כָשְׁל֣וּ וְנָפָֽלוּ׃
3Though an army encamps around me, my heart {will} not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust. 3אִם־ תַּחֲנֶ֬ה עָלַ֨י ׀ מַחֲנֶה֮ לֹֽא־ יִירָ֪א לִ֫בִּ֥י אִם־ תָּק֣וּם עָ֭לַי מִלְחָמָ֑ה בְּ֝זֹ֗את אֲנִ֣י בוֹטֵֽחַ׃
4One thing I have asked of the LORD, this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple. 4אַחַ֤ת ׀ שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־ יְהוָה֮ אוֹתָ֪הּ אֲבַ֫קֵּ֥שׁ שִׁבְתִּ֣י בְּבֵית־ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־ יְמֵ֣י חַיַּ֑י לַחֲז֥וֹת בְּנֹֽעַם־ יְ֝הוָ֗ה וּלְבַקֵּ֥ר בְּהֵיכָלֽוֹ׃
5For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock. 5כִּ֤י יִצְפְּנֵ֨נִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה֮ בְּי֪וֹם רָ֫עָ֥ה יַ֭סְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵ֣תֶר אָהֳל֑וֹ בְּ֝צ֗וּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי׃
6Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. 6וְעַתָּ֨ה יָר֪וּם רֹאשִׁ֡י עַ֤ל אֹֽיְבַ֬י סְֽבִיבוֹתַ֗י וְאֶזְבְּחָ֣ה בְ֭אָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ירָה וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה לַיהוָֽה׃
7Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me. 7שְׁמַע־ יְהוָ֖ה קוֹלִ֥י אֶקְרָ֗א וְחָנֵּ֥נִי וַעֲנֵֽנִי׃
8My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek. 8לְךָ֤ ׀ אָמַ֣ר לִ֭בִּי בַּקְּשׁ֣וּ פָנָ֑י אֶת־ פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃
9Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation. 9אַל־ תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי֮ אַֽל־ תַּט־ בְּאַ֗ף עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ עֶזְרָתִ֥י הָיִ֑יתָ אַֽל־ תִּטְּשֵׁ֥נִי וְאַל־ תַּֽ֝עַזְבֵ֗נִי אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃
10Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. 10כִּי־ אָבִ֣י וְאִמִּ֣י עֲזָב֑וּנִי וַֽיהוָ֣ה יַֽאַסְפֵֽנִי׃
11Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors. 11ה֤וֹרֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֗ה דַּ֫רְכֶּ֥ךָ וּ֭נְחֵנִי בְּאֹ֣רַח מִישׁ֑וֹר לְ֝מַ֗עַן שׁוֹרְרָֽי׃
12Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for FALSE witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. 12אַֽל־ תִּ֭תְּנֵנִי בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ צָרָ֑י כִּ֥י קָֽמוּ־ בִ֥י עֵֽדֵי־ שֶׁ֝֗קֶר וִיפֵ֥חַ חָמָֽס׃
13Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 13לׅׄוּלֵׅׄ֗אׅׄ‪‬ הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי לִרְא֥וֹת בְּֽטוּב־ יְהוָ֗ה בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּֽים׃
14Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD. 14קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל־ יְה֫וָ֥ה חֲ֭זַק וְיַאֲמֵ֣ץ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל־ יְהוָֽה׃
