4 aOne thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:

That I may bdwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

To behold cthe 1beauty of the Lord

And to 2dmeditate in His temple.

5 For in the aday of trouble He will bconceal me in His 1tabernacle;

In the secret place of His tent He will chide me;

He will dlift me up on a rock.

6 And now amy head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,

And I will offer in His tent bsacrifices 1with shouts of joy;

I will csing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 aHear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,

And be gracious to me and banswer me.

8 When You said, “aSeek My face,” my heart said to You,

“Your face, O Lord, bI shall seek.”

9 aDo not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in banger;

You have been cmy help;

dDo not abandon me nor eforsake me,

O God of my salvation!

10 1For my father and amy mother have forsaken me,

But bthe Lord will take me up.
