Triumphant Song of Confidence
Of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?(A)

to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
they shall stumble and fall.(B)

my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident.(C)
