Psalm 27, verses 1 & 4
ְהוָה, אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי–מִמִּי אִירָא;
יְהוָה מָעוֹז-חַיַּי, מִמִּי אֶפְחָד.
אַחַת, שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאֵת-יְהוָה– אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ:
שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-יְהוָה, כָּל-יְמֵי חַיַּי;
לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם-יְהוָה, וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ.
God is my light and my refuge secure — whom shall I fear? God is the stronghold of my life — of whom should I be afraid?
Just one thing I have asked of God; only this do I seek: to dwell in God’s House all the days of my life, to behold divine sweetness and beauty, and to gaze in delight at God’s Temple.[1]
