    all the days of my life,^(B)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.

¹⁷ May the favor^[a] of the Lord our God rest on us;

²⁰ They took pride in their beautiful jewelry
    and used it to make^(A) their detestable idols.

    as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
