4 I have asked one thing from the Lord.This I will seek:to remain in the Lord’s house all the days of my lifein order to gaze at the Lord’s beautyand to search for an answer in his temple.
5 He hides me in his shelter when there is trouble.He keeps me hidden in his tent.He sets me high on a rock.
6 Now my head will be raised above my enemies who surround me.I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy in his tent.I will sing and make music to praise the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud.Have pity on me, and answer me.
8 ⌊When you said,⌋“Seek my face,”my heart said to you,“O Lord, I will seek your face.”
9 Do not hide your face from me.Do not angrily turn me away.You have been my help.Do not leave me!Do not abandon me, O God, my savior!
10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,the Lord will take care of me.
