One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.
Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.
