The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked advance against me
To devour me
It is my enemies and my foes
Who will stumble and fall

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear
Though war break out against me, even then I will be confident

One thing I ask from the Lord
(And) this only do I seek
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life
One thing I ask from the Lord
(And) this only do I seek
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life

To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
And to seek Him in His temple

For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling
He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent

And set me high upon a rock
Then my head will be exalted above
The enemies who surround me

At His sacred tent I will
Sacrifice with shouts of joy
I will sing and make music to the Lord
