Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;(A)
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.(B)

One thing(C) I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,(D)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble(E)
    he will keep me safe(F) in his dwelling;
he will hide me(G) in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.(H)

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
