⁸ Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

¹⁴ and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵ and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶ and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'

¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

⁴⁹ And he said unto them, `Why `is it' that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?'

⁴⁵ And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,

⁴⁶ saying to them, `It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer -- but ye made it a den of robbers.'

⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him -- also the chiefs of the people --

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,

²² And Hezekiah saith, `What `is' the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'

²⁰ Like myself to-day -- a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah -- to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.'

⁹ For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'

² Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

³ Jerusalem -- the builded one -- `Is' as a city that is joined to itself together.

⁴ For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

¹⁰ For good `is' a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.

¹ To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

² My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

² So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

³ Because better `is' Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

⁴ These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

⁴ One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

⁵ For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

⁶ And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

¹⁴ and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of God.

¹ Then said Solomon, `Jehovah said -- to dwell in thick darkness,

² and I -- I have built a house of habitation for Thee, and a fixed place for Thy dwelling to the ages.'

³ `And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have -- a peculiar treasure of gold and silver -- I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:

²⁵ And the king saith to Zadok, `Take back the ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of Jehovah, then He hath brought me back, and shewn me it and His habitation;

³⁴ And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;

³⁵ and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

²¹ `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;

²² and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which `are' on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.
