Achat Sha'alti me'eit Adonai, otah avakeish; shivti b'veit Adonai kol y'mei chayai, lachazot b'noam Adonai ulvakeir b'heichalo.
אַחַת שָׁאַֽלְתִּי מֵאֵת יְיָ, אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ, שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית יְיָ כָּל יְמֵי חַיַּי, לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹֽעַם יְיָ וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ.

Translation:

One thing do I ask of God, for this do I yearn: to dwell in the house of God all the days of my life, to see the goodness of God and to visit His sanctuary​.
