“God of Heaven’s Armies, You find so much beauty in Your people! They’re like lovely sanctuaries of Your presence. Deep within me are these lovesick longings, desires and daydreams of living in union with You. When I’m near You, my heart and my soul will sing and worship with my joyful songs of You, my true source and spring of life! O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God, even the sparrows and swallows are welcome to build a nest among Your altars to raise their young. What pleasure fills those who live every day in your temple, enjoying You as they worship in Your presence!” (Psalm 84:1-4)

"Happy are those who are strong in the Lord, who want above all else to follow Your steps. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of springs where pools of blessing and refreshment collect after rains! They will grow constantly in strength, and each of them is invited to meet with the Lord in Zion” (Psalm 84:5-7)

“O Jehovah, God of the heavenly armies, hear my prayer! Listen, God of Israel. O God, our Defender and our Shield, have mercy on the one you have anointed as Your king. A single day spent in Your Temple is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a doorman of the Temple of my God than live in palaces of wickedness. For Jehovah God is our Light and our Protector. He gives us grace and glory. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk along his paths. O Lord of the armies of heaven, blessed are those who trust in You” (Psalm 84:8-12)
