Jehovah is my light and my salvation;

2 When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh,

3 Though a host should encamp against me,

4 One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:

5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:

6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;

7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice:

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,

9 Hide not thy face from me;

10 When my father and my mother forsake me,

11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries:

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah

14 Wait for Jehovah:
