UntilI cameinto the sanctuaryof God;[Then] I perceivedtheir end.
"But Godsaidto him, 'You fool!This[very] nightyour soulis requiredof you; and [now] whowill own whatyou have prepared?'
Your way,O God,is holy;Whatgodis greatlike our God?
OnethingI have askedfrom the LORD,that I shall seek:That I may dwellin the houseof the LORDallthe daysof my life,To beholdthe beautyof the LORDAnd to meditatein His temple.
Your testimoniesalsoare my delight;[They are] my counselors.Daleth.
ThusI have seenYou in the sanctuary,To seeYour powerand Your glory.
The prophetsprophesyfalsely,And the priestsruleon their [own] authority;And My peopleloveit so!But whatwill you doat the endof it?
The unfoldingof Your wordsgiveslight;It givesunderstandingto the simple.
"For whatis the hopeof the godlesswhenhe is cutoff,WhenGodrequireshis life?
But You, O LORD,are on highforever.
