To dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life.

See the face of my God?

My flesh and my spirit cry out

For the God of my life.

into the altar of God

The God of my gladness and joy

Giving thanks on the harp.

who place their trust in the Lord

For they shall inherit the prize;

Theirs is life without end!
