1. The Lord's my light and saving health,who shall make me dismay'd?My life's strength is the Lord, of whomthen shall I be afraid?
2. When as mine enemies and foes,most wicked persons all,To eat my flesh against me rose,they stumbled and did fall.
3. Against me though an host encamp,my heart yet fearless is:Though war against me rise, I willbe confident in this.
4. One thing I of the Lord desir'd,and will seek to obtain,That all days of my life I maywithin God's house remain;That I the beauty of the Lordbehold may and admire,And that I in his holy placemay rev'rently enquire.
5. For he in his pavilion shallme hide in evil days;In secret of his tent me hide,and on a rock me raise.
6. And now, ev'n at this present time,mine head shall lifted beAbove all those that are my foes,and round encompass me:Therefore unto his tabernacleI'll sacrifices bringOf joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, Ito God will praises sing.
