Words adapted from Psalm 127

אַחַת שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאֵת-יְהוָה אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ
שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-יְהוָה, כָּל-יְמֵי חַיַּי
לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם-יְהוָה, וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ

Achat sha'alti me'eit Hashem, otah avakesh:
shivti b'veit Hashem, kol y'mei chayai, lachazot b'noam Hashem, u'l'vaker b'heikhalo.

Translation: One thing I ask from the Divine, one thing I desire
That I may dwell in Your house all the days of my life
To behold the pleasantness of the Divine, and to enter Their sanctuary​.
