2 When evildoers drew near against me to eat my flesh— my adversaries and my enemies who drew near to me— they themselves stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war arise against me, even in this I will remain confident.
4 One thing I have asked from Yahweh; it I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Yahweh, and to consider his temple.
5 Because he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble. He will conceal me in the hiding place of his tent. He will set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head will be high over my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 Hear, O Yahweh, my voice when I call, and be gracious to me and answer me.
8 On your behalf my heart says, “Seek my face.” Your face, O Yahweh, I do seek.
