⁷ How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
    All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.^(A)
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
    and you give them drink from the river of your delights.^(B)
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.^(C)

² When evildoers assail me
    to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
    they shall stumble and fall.^(B)

³ Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
    yet I will be confident.^(C)

⁴ One thing I asked of the Lord;
    this I seek:
to live in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
    and to inquire in his temple.^(D)

⁵ For he will hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
    he will set me high on a rock.^(E)

⁶ Now my head is lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.^(F)

⁵ My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,^[a]
    and my mouth praises you with joyful lips^(A)
6 when I think of you on my bed
    and meditate on you in the watches of the night,^(B)
7 for you have been my help,
    and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.^(C)
