Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!
Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them, that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.
The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
He chose David his servant and took him from the sheepfolds; from following the nursing ewes he brought him to shepherd Jacob his people, Israel his inheritance.
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the Lord.”
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.
