4 I ask only one thing from the Lord.This is what I want:Let me live in the Lord’s houseall my life.Let me see the Lord’s beautyand look with my own eyes at his Temple.
5 During danger he will keep me safe in his shelter.He will hide me in his Holy Tent,or he will keep me safe on a high mountain.
6 My head is higher than my enemies around me.I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent.I will sing and praise the Lord.
7 Lord, hear me when I call;have mercy and answer me.
8 My heart said of you, “Go, worship him.”So I come to worship you, Lord.
9 Do not turn away from me.Do not turn your servant away in anger;you have helped me.Do not push me away or leave me alone,God, my Savior.
10 If my father and mother leave me,the Lord will take me in.
