4  One thing have I asked of the Lord,

that will I seek after:

^zthat I may ^adwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to ^bgaze upon the beauty of the Lord

and to inquire¹ in his temple.

5  For he will hide me in his ^cshelter

in the day of trouble;

he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;

he will lift me high ^dupon a rock.

6  And now my ^ehead shall be lifted up

above my enemies all around me,

and I will offer in his tent

sacrifices with ^fshouts of joy;

^gI will sing and make melody to the Lord.
