1. 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?
2. When the wicked advance against meto devour me,it is my enemies and my foeswho will stumble and fall.
3. Though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear;though war break out against me,even then I will be confident.
4. One thing I ask from the Lord,this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lordand to seek him in his temple.
