| The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? | The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? |
| Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. | Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident. |
|
| One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. | One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: 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 inquire in His temple. |
| I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. | I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. |
| Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. | Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! |
