4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,That will I seek:That I may dwell in the house of the LordAll the days of my life,To behold the beauty of the Lord,And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of troubleHe shall hide me in His pavilion;In the secret place of His tabernacleHe shall hide me;He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”My heart said to You, “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 help;Do not leave me nor forsake me,O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,Then the Lord will take care of me.
