1 The Lord gives me light and saves me. Why should I fear anyone? The Lord is my place of safety. Why should I be afraid? 2 My enemies are evil. They will trip and fall when they attack me and try to eat me alive. 3 Even if an army attacks me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if war breaks out against me, I will still trust in God. 4 I'm asking the Lord for only one thing. Here is what I want. I want to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. I want to look at the beauty of the Lord. I want to worship him in his temple. 5 When I'm in trouble, he will keep me safe in his house. He will hide me in the safety of his holy tent. He will put me on a rock that is very high. 6 Then I will win the battle over my enemies who are all around me. At his holy tent I will offer my sacrifice with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord. 7 Lord, hear my voice when I call out to you. Show me your favor and answer me. 8 My heart says, "Look to him!" Lord, I will look to you. 9 Don't turn your face away from me. Don't turn me away because you are angry. You have helped me. God my Savior, don't say no to me. Don't desert me.
