1. Hashem is my ohr and Yishi (my Salvation); whom shall I fear? Hashem is the ma'oz (stronghold) of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2. When the resha'im, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to devour my basar, they stumbled and fell.
3. Though an army should encamp against me, my lev shall not fear; though milchamah should break out against me, in this will I be confident.
4. One thing have I asked of Hashem, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the Bais Hashem all the days of my life, to behold the gracefulness of Hashem, and to inquire in His Heikhal.
5. For in the Yom Ra'ah (day of evil) He shall keep me safe in His Sukkah; in the shelter of His Ohel shall He conceal me; He shall set me up upon a Tzur (rock).
