27:4 I have asked the Lord for one thing –
this is what I desire!
I want to live 1 in the Lord’s house 2 all the days of my life,
so I can gaze at the splendor 3 of the Lord
and contemplate in his temple.
27:5 He will surely 4 give me shelter 5 in the day of danger; 6
he will hide me in his home; 7
he will place me 8 on an inaccessible rocky summit. 9
27:6 Now I will triumph
over my enemies who surround me! 10
I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! 11
I will sing praises to the Lord!
