Psalm 27:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
II
4 One thing I ask of the Lord;
this I seek:
To dwell in the Lord’s house
all the days of my life,
To gaze on the Lord’s beauty,
to visit his temple.(A)
5 For God will hide me in his shelter
in time of trouble,(B)
He will conceal me in the cover of his tent;
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Even now my head is held high
above my enemies on every side!
I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.
Psalm 27:4-6
New International Version
4 One thing(A) 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,(B)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble(C)
he will keep me safe(D) in his dwelling;
he will hide me(E) in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.(F)
Psalm 27:4-6
King James Version
4 One thing have I desired of 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.
5 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.
6 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.

That will I seek:
That I may (B)dwell in the house of the Lord

To behold the [a]beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
