⁴ Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.

⁴ Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.)

⁸ The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

¹² Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.

⁵ My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

³ See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.

³ And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.

⁴ And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.

¹⁶ They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun:

¹⁷ For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for ever.

¹² Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

⁴ Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

⁴ Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

⁵ So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.

⁷ Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

⁶ Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

¹⁵ As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

¹³ But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

²⁵ For I have given new strength to the tired soul and to every sorrowing soul in full measure.

¹² So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow.

¹³ Then the virgin will have joy in the dance, and the young men and the old will be glad: for I will have their weeping turned into joy, I will give them comfort and make them glad after their sorrow.

¹⁴ I will give the priests their desired fat things, and my people will have a full measure of my good things, says the Lord.

⁴ For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

⁷⁰ He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;

⁷¹ From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.
