3 Against me though an host encamp,my heart yet fearless is:Though war against me rise, I willbe confident in this.
4 One thing I of the Lord desir'd,and will seek to obtain,That all days of my life I maywithin God's house remain;That I the beauty of the Lordbehold may and admire,And that I in his holy placemay rev'rently enquire.
5 For he in his pavilion shallme hide in evil days;In secret of his tent me hide,and on a rock me raise.
6 And now, ev'n at this present time,mine head shall lifted beAbove all those that are my foes,and round encompass me:Therefore unto his tabernacleI'll sacrifices bringOf joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, Ito God will praises sing.
7 O Lord, give ear unto my voice,when I do cry to thee;Upon me also mercy have,and do thou answer me.
8 When thou didst say, Seek ye my face,then unto thee replyThus did my heart, Above all thingsthy face, Lord, seek will I.
9 Far from me hide not thou thy face;put not away from theeThy servant in thy wrath: thou hastan helper been to me.O God of my salvation,leave me not, nor forsake:
