4
1One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may 2dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon 3the beauty of the LORD and to inquire[a] in his temple.
2
When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
3
Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
4
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.
5
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
6
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
