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.

⁷ Hear me, Lord, when I call to you!
    Be merciful and answer me!
⁸ When you said, “Come worship me,”
I answered, “I will come, Lord.”
