one thing have i desired from the lord that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to enquire in his temple for in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me he shall set me up upon a rock and now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me therefore will i offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy i will sing yea i will sing praises unto the lord
