Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 26:4-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.

5. For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.

6. He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.

7. Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.

8. My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.

9. Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour.
