4
(A)One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:
That I may (B)dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To behold (C)the (a)beauty of the Lord
And to (b)(D)meditate in His temple.
5
For in the (E)day of trouble He will (F)conceal me in His (c)tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will (G)hide me;
He will (H)lift me up on a rock.
6
And now (I)my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent (J)sacrifices (d)with shouts of joy;
I will (K)sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
