¹⁹ Listen to the cry of my people
    from a land far away:^(A)
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
    Is her King^(B) no longer there?”

“Why have they aroused^(C) my anger with their images,
    with their worthless^(D) foreign idols?”^(E)

²¹ Their leader^(A) will be one of their own;
    their ruler will arise from among them.^(B)
I will bring him near^(C) and he will come close to me—
    for who is he who will devote himself
    to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.

⁶ Surely your goodness and love^(A) will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

⁴ 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.

¹¹ Teach me your way,^(A) Lord,
    that I may rely on your faithfulness;^(B)
give me an undivided^(C) heart,
    that I may fear^(D) your name.
