Wait on the Lord

	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?
2	When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,          came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3	Though a host should encamp against me,          my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4	One 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.
5	For 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.
6	And 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.
7	Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice:          have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8	When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;          my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9	Hide 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.
10	When my father and my mother forsake me,          then the LORD will take me up.
11	Teach me thy way, O LORD,          and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12	Deliver 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 in the land of the living.
14	Wait on the LORD:          be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
