3 Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
5 For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
6 And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing, even sing psalms to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me.
