Though an army should encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
    even then I will be confident.
One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after:
    that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life,
    to see Yahweh’s beauty,
    and to inquire in his temple.
For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
    In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me.
    He will lift me up on a rock.
