When evildoers assail me
    to (A)eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
    it is they who stumble and fall.

(B)Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
    yet[a] I will be confident.

(C)One thing have I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after:
that I may (D)dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze upon (E)the beauty of the Lord
    and to inquire[b] in his temple.
