When evildoers assail me
    to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
    they shall stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
    yet I will be confident.

One thing I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
    and to inquire in his temple.

    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.
