² When the wicked advance against me
    to devour^[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.^(E)
3 Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;^(F)
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.^(G)

⁴ One thing^(H) 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,^(I)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
⁵ For in the day of trouble^(J)
    he will keep me safe^(K) in his dwelling;
he will hide me^(L) in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.^(M)

⁶ Then my head will be exalted^(N)
    above the enemies who surround me;^(O)
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice^(P) with shouts of joy;^(Q)
    I will sing^(R) and make music^(S) to the Lord.

⁷ Hear my voice^(T) when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.^(U)
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!^(V)”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
⁹ Do not hide your face^(W) from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;^(X)
    you have been my helper.^(Y)
Do not reject me or forsake^(Z) me,
    God my Savior.^(AA)
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.
¹¹ Teach me your way,^(AB) Lord;
    lead me in a straight path^(AC)
    because of my oppressors.^(AD)
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses^(AE) rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

¹³ I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord^(AF)
    in the land of the living.^(AG)
14 Wait^(AH) for the Lord;
    be strong^(AI) and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.

“‘Our Father^(D) in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰ your kingdom^(E) come,
your will be done,^(F)
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.^(G)
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.^(H)
13 And lead us not into temptation,^[a](I)
    but deliver us from the evil one.^[b]’^(J)
