Psalm 27:4-9
New American Standard Bible
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 on the (E)day of trouble He will (F)conceal me in His [c]tabernacle;
He will (G)hide me in the secret place of His tent;
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 (J)sacrifices in His tent [d]with shouts of joy;
I will (K)sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 (L)Hear, Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and (M)answer me.
8 When You said, “(N)Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“(O)I shall seek Your face, Lord.”
9 (P)Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in (Q)anger;
You have been (R)my help;
(S)Do not abandon me nor (T)forsake me,
God of my salvation!
