MODERN HEBREW BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 לדוד שפטני יהוה כי אני בתמי הלכתי וביהוה בטחתי לא אמעד	1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
2 בחנני יהוה ונסני צרופה כליותי ולבי	2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
3 כי חסדך לנגד עיני והתהלכתי באמתך	3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.
4 לא ישבתי עם מתי שוא ועם נעלמים לא אבוא	4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5 שנאתי קהל מרעים ועם רשעים לא אשב	5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
6 ארחץ בנקיון כפי ואסבבה את מזבחך יהוה	6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
7 לשמע בקול תודה ולספר כל נפלאותיך	7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.
8 יהוה אהבתי מעון ביתך ומקום משכן כבודך	8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.
9 אל תאסף עם חטאים נפשי ועם אנשי דמים חיי	9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour.
10 אשר בידיהם זמה וימינם מלאה שחד	10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.
11 ואני בתמי אלך פדני וחנני	11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
12 רגלי עמדה במישור במקהלים אברך יהוה	12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
	13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
	14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
