and teaches them his way. - The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?

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. - 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. - I remain confident of this:
I will 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. - The Lord is my strength and my shield;

but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning. - In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness. - Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me. - My times are in your hands;

from those who pursue me. - Let your face shine on your servant;

all you who hope in the Lord. - Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered. - When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.

you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. - For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does. - The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love. - By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth. - Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance. - But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.
