How lovely are your tents O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel! As for me, in the abundance of Your mercy do I come into Your house and bow down before Your holy temple in reverence of You. O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house,, the place where Your glory dwells. As for me, I will bow down and kneel, I will bend the knee before the Lord my Maker. As for me, my prayer is to You in this time of favor. O God, in Your abundant mercy answer me with Your saving truth.
