Psalm 27:4-10
New International Version
Psalm 27:4-10
New International Version
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.
7 Hear my voice(M) when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.(N)
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!(O)”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face(P) from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;(Q)
you have been my helper.(R)
Do not reject me or forsake(S) me,
God my Savior.(T)
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.

King James Version
Psalm 27:4-10
King James Version
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
