‏ Psalms 27:4

4 I have asked the Lord for one thing—
this is what I desire!
I want to live ^{▼▼tn Heb “for me to live.”} in the Lord’s house ^{▼▼sn The Lord’s house. This probably refers to the tabernacle (if one accepts Davidic authorship) or the temple (see Judg 19:18; 1 Sam 1:7, 24; 2 Sam 12:20; 1 Kgs 7:12, 40, 45, 51).} all the days of my life,
so I can gaze at the splendor ^{▼▼tn Or “beauty.”} of the Lord
and contemplate in his temple.
