1. The lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?The lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,so why should I tremble?
2. When evil people come to devour me,when my enemies and foes attack me,they will stumble and fall.
3. Though a mighty army surrounds me,my heart will not be afraid.Even if I am attacked,I will remain confident.
4. The one thing I ask of the lord—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the lord all the days of my life,delighting in the lord’s perfectionsand meditating in his Temple.
