Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

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

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

And having an high priest over the house of God;

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
