I was glad when they said unto me "Let us go into the house of the Lord."
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, Oh Jerusalem.
For a day in thy court is better than a thousand. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Oh Lord I love thy habitation, the place where thy honor dwelleth.
For the Lord is in his holy temple let all the earth keep silence before him.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
O sing a new song unto the Lord for he has done marvelous things, make a joyful noise unto the Lord, and all the earth sing his praises.
