4 One thing of God I have desired, And that I will still [seek and] crave; That in the Lord's house all my days I may a [quiet] dwelling have. That there God's beauteous holiness I may [with joy] see and admire: And for direction in my doubts, May [humbly] of his will enquire.

5 For he in times of trouble will Secure me by his [saving] grace; In his own Tent and Tabernacle, And on a Rock [he shall] me place.
6 And now (by him who is my strength) My head shall [highly] lifted be Above my cruel enemies, Who do [about] encompass me. The sacrifice of joy will I Into his [holy] Temple bring; I'll sing aloud unto the Lord, Yea, I will [joyful] praises sing.
