When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,
    even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
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.

    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.
