I ask only one thing from the Lord.
    This is what I ·want [L seek after]:
Let me ·live [dwell] in the Lord’s house [C the sanctuary]
    all the days of my life.
Let me see the Lord’s beauty
    and ·look with my own eyes [L make inquiry; C discover God’s will] at his Temple.
·During danger [L In the day of trouble] he will ·keep me safe [L hide me] in his shelter.
    He will ·hide [conceal] me in his Holy Tent,
    or he will ·keep me safe [L set me high] on a ·high mountain [L rock].
My head is higher than my enemies around me.
I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent [C the Tabernacle].
I will sing and praise the Lord.

One thing(A) 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,(B)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble(C)
    he will keep me safe(D) in his dwelling;
he will hide me(E) in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.(F)

Then my head will be exalted(G)
    above the enemies who surround me;(H)
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice(I) with shouts of joy;(J)
    I will sing(K) and make music(L) to the Lord.
