For the LORD God is a light and defense; the LORD will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life.

For one day in thy court is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of the ungodly.

{Upon Gittith, a Psalm of the sons of Korah} O how amiable are thy dwellings, thou LORD of Hosts!

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are thy ways,

who going through the vale of misery use it for a well; and the pools are filled with water.

My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be always praising thee. Selah.

For the sparrow hath found her a house, and the swallow a nest, where she may lay her young; even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

They will go from strength to strength, and unto the God of Gods appeareth every one of them in Zion.

O LORD God of Hosts, blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.

Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; hearken, O God of Jacob.
