THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HOUSE

Text: Psalm 65

ANOTHER DAVIDIC PSALM 

King David had deep insights concerning the Sanctuary of the Lord. Deep and precious are his thoughts concerning the Lord’s Sanctuary.

1 Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion;

And to You the vow shall be performed.

2 O You who hear prayer,

To You all flesh will come.

3 Iniquities prevail against me;

As for our transgressions,

You will provide atonement for them.

4 Blessed is the man You choose,

And cause to approach You,

That he may dwell in Your courts.

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,

Of Your holy temple.     Psalm 65:1-4
