  • 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 Temple and make me secure on a high rock.
