When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.

One [thing] I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

When the wicked advance against me
    to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.(A)
Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;(B)
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.(C)

One thing(D) 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,(E)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
