Psalm 27:4-10

New King James Version

^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.
⁵ For ^(C)in the time of trouble
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.

⁶ And now ^(E)my head shall be ^[b]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of ^[c]joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
⁸ When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
^9 (F)Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
^10 (G)When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.
