(A)One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may (B)dwell in the house of the Lord

He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall (D)set me high upon a rock.

Therefore I will offer sacrifices of [c]joy in His tabernacle;

Psalms 1–41

The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

Blessed (A)is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But (C)his delight is in the law of the Lord,
(D)And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
(E)Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall (F)prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are (G)like the chaff which the wind drives away.
