2 Brutal people may attackand try to kill me,but they will stumble.Fierce enemies may attack,but they will fall.
3 Armies may surround me,but I won't be afraid;war may break out,but I will trust you.
4 I ask only one thing, Lord:Let me live in your houseevery day of my lifeto see how wonderful you areand to pray in your temple.
5 In times of trouble,you will protect me.You will hide me in your tentand keep me safeon top of a mighty rock.
6 You will let me defeatall of my enemies.Then I will celebrate,as I enter your tentwith animal sacrificesand songs of praise.
7 Please listen when I pray!Have pity. Answer my prayer.
8 My heart tells me to pray.I am eager to see your face,
