2. When evil people attack me and try to kill me,they stumble and fall.
3. Even if a whole army surrounds me,I will not be afraid;even if enemies attack me,I will still trust God.
4. I have asked the Lord for one thing;one thing only do I want:to live in the Lord's house all my life,to marvel there at his goodness,and to ask for his guidance.
5. In times of trouble he will shelter me;he will keep me safe in his Templeand make me secure on a high rock.
6. So I will triumph over my enemies around me.With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple;I will sing, I will praise the Lord.
7. Hear me, Lord, when I call to you!Be merciful and answer me!
8. When you said, “Come and worship me,”I answered, “I will come, Lord;
9. don't hide yourself from me!”Don't be angry with me;don't turn your servant away.You have been my help;don't leave me, don't abandon me,O God, my saviour.
10. My father and mother may abandon me,but the Lord will take care of me.
