Latin text

26:4 Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram,
ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae;
ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
27:5 Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo in die malorum;
protexit me in abscondito tabernacoli sui.

English translation

27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will require:
even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple.
