3 Though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear;though war break out against me,even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lordand to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of troublehe will keep me safe in his dwelling;he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tentand set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exaltedabove the enemies who surround me;at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, ‘Seek his face!’Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,do not turn your servant away in anger;you have been my helper.Do not reject me or forsake me,God my Saviour.
