[1]A Psalm of David. 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
[2]When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
[3]Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.
[4]One thing have I asked of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and to visit early in His temple.
[5]For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.
[6]And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
[7]Hear, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
[8]In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, will I seek.
[9]Hide not Thy face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
[10]For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will take me up.
[11]Teach me Thy way, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.
[12]Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
[13]If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 in the land of the living!—
[14]Wait on 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
