 Whose hands are full of evil plots, * and their right hand full of bribes.

As for me, I will live with integrity; * redeem me, O, and have pity on me.

My foot stands on level ground; * in the full assembly I will bless the.

The is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? * the is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, * it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who stumbled and fell.

Though an army should encamp against me, * yet my heart shall not be afraid;

And though war should rise up against me, * yet will I put my trust in him.

One thing have I asked of the ; one thing I seek; * that I may dwell in the house of the all the days  of my life;

To behold the fair beauty of the * and to seek him in his temple.
