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.
⁵ 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)

⁶ 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.

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.^(A)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name^(B) may rejoice in you.^(C)

¹² Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;^(D)
    you surround them^(E) with your favor as with a shield.^(F)
