KJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?1The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?
2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.2When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors come near me to devour my flesh, they stumble and fall.
3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.3If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear. If a war is launched against me, I will even trust in that situation.
4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.4I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I really seek: that I may remain in the LORD's Temple all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD; and to inquire 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.5For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of evil; He will hide me in a secluded chamber within his tent; He will place me on a high 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.6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies, even those who surround me. I will sacrifice in his tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melodies to the LORD.
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.7Hear my voice, LORD, when I cry out! Be gracious to me and answer me.
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.8My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek.
9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.9Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.10Though my father and my mother abandoned me, the LORD gathers me up.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.11Teach me your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my 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.12Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence.
13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.13I believe that I will see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living.
14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.14Wait on the LORD. Be courageous, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait on the LORD!
