Though a mighty army surrounds me,
    my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
    I will remain confident.

The one thing I ask of the Lord
    the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

    he will hide me in his sanctuary.
    He will place me out of reach on a high rock.

    and set me high upon a rock.(H)
