To dwell in Your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house
And the place where Your glory dwells.

My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine and the oil to the chambers; there are the utensils of the sanctuary, the priests who are ministering, the gatekeepers and the singers. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.

A Song of Ascents, of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
