Reading - Psalm

¹The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then ^| shall I fear?

The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I ^| be afraid?

²When evildoers close in against me to de- ^| vour my flesh,

they, my foes and my enemies, will stum- ^| ble and fall.

³Though an army encamp against me, my heart ^| will not fear.

Though war rise up against me, my trust will ^| not be shaken.

⁴One thing I ask of the LORD; one ^| thing I seek;

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life; to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek God ^| in the temple. R

⁵For in the day of trouble God will ^| give me shelter,

hide me in the hidden places of the sanctuary, and raise me high up- ^| on a rock.

⁶Even now my head is lifted up above my enemies ^| who surround me.

Therefore I will offer sacrifice in the sanctuary, sacrifices of rejoicing; I will sing and make music ^| to the LORD.

⁷Hear my voice, O LORD, ^| when I call;

have mercy on me and ^| answer me.

⁸My heart speaks your message— ^| "Seek my face."

Your face, O LORD, ^| I will seek. R

⁹Hide not your face from me, turn not away from your ser- ^| vant in anger.

Cast me not away—you have been my helper; forsake me not, O God of ^| my salvation.

¹⁰Though my father and my moth- ^| er forsake me,

the LORD will ^| take me in.

¹¹Teach me your ^| way, O LORD;

lead me on a level path, because of ^| my oppressors.

¹²Subject me not to the will ^| of my foes,

for they rise up against me, false witnesses ^| breathing violence.

¹³This I believe—that I will see the goodness ^| of the LORD

in the land ^| of the living!

¹⁴Wait for the LORD ^| and be strong.

Take heart and wait ^| for the LORD! R
