But Abishaithe sonof Zeruiahhelpedhim, and struckthe Philistineand killedhim. Thenthe menof Davidsworeto him, saying,"You shall not goout againwith us to battle,sothat you do not extinguishthe lampof Israel."
But to his sonI will giveonetribe,that My servantDavidmay havea lampalwaysbeforeMe in Jerusalem,the citywhereI have chosenfor Myself to putMy name.
When His lampshoneovermy head,[And] by His lightI walkedthrough darkness;
Lightarisesin the darknessfor the upright;[He is] graciousand compassionateand righteous.
For You lightmy lamp;The LORDmy Godilluminesmy darkness.
The LORDis my lightand my salvation;Whomshall I fear?The LORDis the defenseof my life;Whomshall I dread?
Manyare saying,"Whowill showus [any] good?"Liftup the lightof Your countenanceupon us, O LORD!
For the LORDGodis a sunand shield;The LORDgivesgraceand glory;Nogoodthingdoes He withholdfrom those who walkuprightly.
Lightis sown[like seed] for the righteousAnd gladnessfor the uprightin heart.
Whois among you that fearsthe LORD,That obeysthe voiceof His servant,That walksin darknessand hasnolight?Let him trustin the nameof the LORDand relyon his God.
I will bearthe indignationof the LORDBecauseI have sinnedagainst Him, UntilHe pleadsmy caseand executesjusticefor me. He will bringme out to the light,[And] I will seeHis righteousness.
"But for you who fearMy name,the sunof righteousnesswill risewith healingin its wings;and you will goforthand skipaboutlike calvesfrom the stall.
"I have come[as] Lightinto the world,sothat everyonewho believesin Me will not remainin darkness.
