One thing I ask of g?d, only that do I seek: to live in the house of g?d all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of g?d. (Translation from Sefaria)
One thing I have I sought from Adonai, how I long for it, that I may live in the house of Adonai all the days of my life, that I may look upon the sweetness of Adonai and spend time in the palace. (Translation by Rabbi Richard Levy)
This one says one thing I ask of the Divine, one thing I seek, may I dwell in the house of the infinite every day of my life, that I make gaze on the beauty of the presence and linger in the holy place. (Translation by Rabbi Jill Hammer)
