^4 (A)One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may ^(B)dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the ^[a]beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.

^4 (A)Blessed is the man You ^(B)choose,
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
^(C)We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.

¹⁰ For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather ^[a]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
