1[[[A Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] of David [Beloved].]] The LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.

4One [thing] have I desired of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and to enquire in his temple.

5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].

7Hear, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8[When youⁱ said], Seek you^2f my face; my heart said unto youⁱ, Your1s face, LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], will I seek.

9Hide not yourⁱ face [far] from me; put not yourⁱ servant away in anger: youⁱ have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of my salvation.

10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] will take me up.

11Teach me yourⁱ way, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] in the land of the living.

14Wait on the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen yourⁱ heart: wait, I say, on the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
