Psalm 27:4–9

4 One thingz I ask from the Lord,

this only do I seek:

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,a

to gaze on the beauty of the Lord

and to seek him in his temple.

5 For in the day of troubleb

he will keep me safec in his dwelling;

he will hide med in the shelter of his sacred tent

and set me high upon a rock.e

6 Then my head will be exaltedf

above the enemies who surround me;g

at his sacred tent I will sacrificeh with shouts of joy;i

I will singj and make musick to the Lord.

7 Hear my voicel when I call, Lord;

be merciful to me and answer me.m

8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!n”

Your face, Lord, I will seek.

9 Do not hide your faceo from me,

do not turn your servant away in anger;p

you have been my helper.q

Do not reject me or forsaker me,

God my Savior.s
