(A)One thing have I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after:
that I may (B)dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze upon (C)the beauty of the Lord
    and to inquire[a] in his temple.

For he will (D)hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;

And now my (F)head shall be lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of (G)joy;
(H)I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Blessed is the man[a]
    who (A)walks not in (B)the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in (C)the way of sinners,
    nor (D)sits in (E)the seat of (F)scoffers;
but his (G)delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
    and on his (H)law he meditates day and night.

He is like (I)a tree
    planted by (J)streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its (K)leaf does not wither.
(L)In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
    but are like (M)chaff that the wind drives away.
