According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. {for ever: Heb. to length of days}

Blessed {are} they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Remember me, O LORD, with the favour {that thou bearest unto} thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. {abundantly...: Heb. watered}

Blessed {is} the nation whose God {is} the LORD; {and} the people {whom} he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, {which is} new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and {I will write upon him} my new name.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

My soul shall be satisfied as {with} marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise {thee} with joyful lips: {marrow: Heb. fatness}

[A Psalm of David.] LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? {abide: Heb. sojourn}

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God {is} with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, {and be} their God.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, {and} Israel for his peculiar treasure.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

One {thing} have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. {the beauty: or, the delight}

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. {abundantly...: Heb. watered}

Blessed {are} they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed {are} they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good {things; so that} thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

But {it is} good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Blessed {is} the nation whose God {is} the LORD; {and} the people {whom} he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who {are} his, and {who is} holy; and will cause {him} to come near unto him: even {him} whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

Happy {is that} people, that is in such a case: {yea}, happy {is that} people, whose God {is} the LORD.

My soul shall be satisfied as {with} marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise {thee} with joyful lips: {marrow: Heb. fatness}

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever {he be} of thy seed in their generations that hath {any} blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. {bread: or, food}

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

Blessed {are ye} that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed {are ye} that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
