my heart is not afraid;
though a war breaks out against me,
still I am confident.

I have asked one thing from the
Lord
;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the
Lord
all the days of my life,
gazing on the beauty of the
Lord
and seeking Him in His temple.
5
For He will conceal me in His shelter
in the day of adversity;
He will hide me under the cover of His tent;
He will set me high on a rock.
6
Then my head will be high
above my enemies around me;
I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the
Lord
.

while malice is in their hearts.

Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.
5
Because they do not consider
what the
Lord
has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them.
