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

One thing(D) 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,(E)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
