David said to Shlomo his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: don't be afraid, nor be dismayed; for the LORD God, even my God, is with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.
You, Shlomo my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men, yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, *I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.*
Be strong and of good courage, don't be afraid, nor be scared of them: for the LORD your God, he it is who does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.
Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, *I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.*
I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, *Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
