Psalm 27:2-4
King James Version
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
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.

Psalm 27:2-4
English Standard Version
2 When evildoers assail me
to (A)eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 (B)Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet[a] I will be confident.
4 (C)One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may (D)dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon (E)the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire[b] in his temple.
