The Lord is my light and salvation,
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life,
of whom shall I be afraid?
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I desire: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the Lord, and to visit His temple.
