One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures for ever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
I rejoiced with those who said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’
The Lord is in his holy temple;
let all the earth be silent before him.
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.’
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
