For this I long: to live in the house of the Lord

There is one thing I ask of the Lord, 

for this I long,

to live in the house of the Lord, 

all the days of my life,

to savor the sweetness of the Lord, 

to behold his temple.

For there he keeps me safe in his tent 

in the day of evil.

He hides me in the shelter of his tent, 

on a rock he sets me safe.

And now my head shall be raised 

above my foes who surround me,

and I shall offer within his tent 

a sacrifice of joy.

I will sing and make music for the Lord.

Psalm 27.4-6
