1 Yahawah () is my awar (light) and my yashai (salvation). Whom shall I yaraa (fear / be afraid)? Yahawah () is the maiwaz (stronghold / fortress / protection) of my chay (life). Of whom shall I be pachad (fear / dread)?
2 When evildoers qarab (come close) at me to akal (eat) up my bashar (flesh), even my tzar (oppressor / distressor) and my ayab (enemy), they kashal (stumble / stagger) and napal (fall / be cast down).
3 Though an machanah (army) should chanah (encamp) against me, my lab (heart) shall not yaraa (fear / be afraid). Though malachamah (war) should qawam (rise up) against me, even then I will be batach (confident).
4 Achad (one) thing I have shaal (asked) of Yahawah (), that I will baqash (seek) after, that I may yashab (inhabit/dwell) in the bayath (house) of Yahawah () all the yamay (days) of my chay (life), to chazah (see) Yahawah () naim (beauty), and to baqar (morning) in his hayakal (temple).
5 For in the yawam (day) of rai (trouble) he will keep me secretly in his sak (pavilion). In the sathar (secret / hidden) of his ahal (tabernacle) he will sathar (hide) me. He will rawam (will lift up) me up on a tzawar (rock).
6 Now my raash (head) will be rawam (will lift up) up above my ayab (enemy) around me. I will zabach (offer) zabachay (sacrifices) of tharawaih (joy) in his ahal (tent). I will shayar (sing), yes, I will sing zamar (praises) to Yahawah ().
7 Shamai (hearken / hear), Yahawah (), when I qaraa (called) with my qawal (sound / voice). Have chanan (showing favor) also on me, and inah (answer / respond) me.
8 When you said, “baqash (seek) my panayam (face),” my lab (heart) amar (spoke) to you, “I will baqash (seek) your panayam (face), Yahawah ().”
9 Don't sathar (hide) your panayam (face) from me. Don't natah (put) your ibad (servant) natah (away) in ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting). You have been my izarah (help). Don't abandon me, neither izab (forsake) me, Alahayam () of my yashai (salvation).
10 When my ab (father) and my am (mother) izab (forsake) me, then Yahawah () will asap (take) me up.
11 Yarah (teach) me your darak (way), Yahawah (). Nachah (lead) me in a mayashawar (straight) arach (path), because of my sharar (enemies).
12 Don't nathan (give) me over to the napash (soul) of my tzar (oppressor / distressor), for shaqar (false) witnesses have qawam (rise up) up against me, such as yapach (breathe) out chamas (cruelty).
13 I am still confident of this: I will raah (see) the goodness of Yahawah () in the aratz (Earth/land) of the chay (life).
14 Qawah (gather/wait) for Yahawah (). Be amatz (strong), and let your lab (heart) chazaq (take) courage. Yes, qawah (gather/wait) for Yahawah ().
