TwothingsI askedof You, Do not refuseme beforeI die:
When they had crossedover,Elijahsaidto Elisha,"AskwhatI shall dofor you beforeI am takenfrom you." And Elishasaid,"Please,let a doubleportionof your spiritbe upon me."
You have givenhim his heart'sdesire,And You have not withheldthe requestof his lips.Selah.
OnethingI have askedfrom the LORD,that I shall seek:That I may dwellin the houseof the LORDallthe daysof my life,To beholdthe beautyof the LORDAnd to meditatein His temple.
Do not addto His wordsOrHe will reproveyou, and you will be proveda liar.
Keepdeceptionand liesfarfrom me, Giveme neitherpovertynorriches;Feedme with the foodthat is my portion,
but [only] onethingis necessary,for Maryhas chosenthe goodpart,whichshall not be taken awayfrom her."
