Of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
About Me

Hey Britt...thanks! I looked at the article you sent me...I went to the settings like they said...it was already set for what they said it should be set at and so I thought I would just try it and bam...it left my formatting alone! So I don't know what the deal was there but I'm glad it worked!
The best thing that I love about reading Psalms is how good they make you feel. No wonder so many songs that people right come right out of Psalms...many times I have been reading here and I said "so that's where they go the lyrics from tha song...I knew it I had heard it before"...I really like the beginning of this psalm...the Lord is our Light...we have nothing to fear. Amen :)
Woo hoo looks good! Blogger is weird sometimes.
I noticed verses 13 & 14 because those were some I memorized as part of my new years' resolution.... I thought it was so simple but profound too and good to have in the memory bank as I need that reminder a lot through life!!
