The LORD is my ^(C1)light and my ^(C2)salvation; Whom should I fear? The LORD is the ^(F1)(C3)defense of my life; ^(C4)Whom should I dread?

When evildoers came upon me to ^(C1)devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they ^(C2)stumbled and fell.

If an ^(C1)army encamps against me, My heart will not fear; If war arises against me, In spite of this I am ^(C2)confident.

^(C1)One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may ^(C2)dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold ^(C3)the ^(F1)beauty of the LORD And to ^(F2)(C4)meditate in His temple.

For on the ^(C1)day of trouble He will ^(C2)conceal me in His ^(F1)tabernacle; He will ^(C3)hide me in the secret place of His tent; He will ^(C4)lift me up on a rock.

And now ^(C1)my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer ^(C2)sacrifices in His tent ^(F1)with shouts of joy; I will ^(C3)sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

^(C1)Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and ^(C2)answer me.

When You said, "^(C1)Seek My face," my heart said to You, "^(C2)I shall seek Your face, LORD."

^(C1)Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in ^(C2)anger; You have been ^(C3)my help; ^(C4)Do not abandon me nor ^(C5)forsake me, God of my salvation!

^(F1)For my father and ^(C1)my mother have forsaken me, But ^(C2)the LORD will take me up.

^(C1)Teach me Your way, LORD, And lead me on a ^(C2)level path Because of my enemies.

Do not turn me over to the ^(F1)(C1)desire of my enemies, For ^(C2)false witnesses have risen against me, And the violent ^(C3)witness.

I certainly believed that I would see the ^(C1)goodness of the LORD In the ^(C2)land of the living.

^(C1)Wait for the LORD; Be ^(C2)strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.

To You, LORD, I call; My ^(C1)rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You ^(C2)are silent to me, I will become like those who ^(C3)go down to the pit.

Hear the ^(C1)sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help, When I ^(C2)raise my hands ^(C3)toward ^(F1)Your holy ^(C4)sanctuary.

^(C1)Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who practice injustice, Who ^(C2)speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.

Give back to them ^(C1)according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Give back to them according to the work of their hands; Repay them what is due them.

Because they ^(C1)do not regard the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up.

Blessed be the LORD, Because He ^(C1)has heard the sound of my pleading.

The LORD is my ^(C1)strength and my ^(C2)shield; My heart ^(C3)trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore ^(C4)my heart triumphs, And with ^(C5)my song I shall thank Him.

The LORD is ^(F1)their ^(C1)strength, And He is a refuge of ^(C2)salvation to His anointed.

^(C1)Save Your people and bless ^(C2)Your inheritance; Be their ^(C3)shepherd also, and ^(C4)carry them forever.

^(C1)Ascribe to the LORD, ^(F1)sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory ^(F1)due His name; Worship the LORD ^(C1)in holy attire.

The ^(C1)voice of the LORD is on the waters; The God of glory ^(C2)thunders, The LORD is over ^(F1)(C3)many waters.

The voice of the LORD is ^(C1)powerful, The voice of the LORD is majestic.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; Yes, the LORD breaks ^(C1)the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.

He makes Lebanon ^(C1)skip like a calf, And ^(C2)Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the LORD divides ^(F1)flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD ^(F1)shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the wilderness of ^(C1)Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD makes ^(C1)the deer give birth And strips the forests bare; And ^(C2)in His temple everything says, "Glory!"

The LORD sat as King at the ^(C1)flood; Yes, the LORD sits as ^(C2)King forever.

^(F1)The LORD will give ^(C1)strength to His people; ^(F2)The LORD will bless His people with ^(C2)peace.
