My Stronghold

Davidic.

1The Lord is my light and my salvation —

whom should I fear? Is 60:20; Mc 7:8

The Lord is the stronghold of my life —

of whom should I be afraid? Ps 28:8; 118:6

2When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, Ps 14:4

my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell. Ps 9:3

3Though an army deploys against me,

my heart is not afraid;

though a war breaks out against me,

still I am confident. Ps 3:6

4I have asked one thing from the Lord;

it is what I desire:

to dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life, Ps 23:6; 26:8

gazing on the beauty of the Lord Ps 93:5

and seeking Him in His temple. Mal 3:1

5For He will conceal me in His shelter

in the day of adversity;

He will hide me under the cover of His tent;

He will set me high on a rock. Ps 31:20; 91:1; Is 25:4

6Then my head will be high

above my enemies around me; Ps 3:3

I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy. Ps 54:6; 116:17

I will sing and make music to the Lord. Eph 5:19

7Lord, hear my voice when I call;

be gracious to me and answer me. Ps 4:3; 30:10

8My heart says this about You,

“You You is plural in Hb are to seek My face.”

Lord, I will seek Your face. Ps 24:6; 105:4

9Do not hide Your face from me; Ps 69:17; 102:2; 143:7

do not turn Your servant away in anger. Ps 6:1

You have been my helper; Ps 40:17

do not leave me or abandon me,

God of my salvation.

10Even if my father and mother abandon me,

the Lord cares for me. Ps 37:28; 94:14

11Because of my adversaries,

show me Your way, Lord,

and lead me on a level path. Ps 25:4; 26:12

12Do not give me over to the will of my foes,

for false witnesses rise up against me,

breathing violence. Ps 35:11; 41:2; Mt 26:59-60

in the land of the living. Ex 33:19; Ps 116:9; 142:5

be strong Lit Lord; let your heart be strong and courageous. Jos 1:6
