One thing I have desired from Jehovah, that I will seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tent. I will sing; yea, I will make music unto Jehovah.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me; for I had gone with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping the feast.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Gittith. A Psalm for the sons of Korah.] i0 par How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Jehovah of Hosts!

My soul longs, yea, is spent for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living Mighty God.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

i1 [A Song of Ascents of David.] i0 par I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of Jehovah.

Jerusalem is built like a city that has been joined together,

And the king said to Zadok, Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place.

Moreover, because of my determination regarding the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary, from my own possessions of gold and silver:

Jehovah is there to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?

And so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

And He said to them, Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I need to be in the things of My Father?

And He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him,

And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting.

And He said to those who sold doves, Take these things away from here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!

I have seen You in the sanctuary, to look upon Your power and Your glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.

And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, everything which I will command you concerning the children of Israel.

And the cloud covered over the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud had settled down upon it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

so that the priests could not remain standing to serve before the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.

Then Solomon spoke: Jehovah has said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

I have built You an exalted house, and a place for You to dwell always.
