Come to the Temple, LORD, with the Covenant Box, the symbol of your power, and stay here forever.

A day is coming when the new king from the royal line of David will be a symbol to the nations. They will gather in his royal city and give him honor.

The LORD says, "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house, then, could you build for me, what kind of place for me to live in?

The LORD your God is with you; his power gives you victory. The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life. He will sing and be joyful over you,

He goes up to the heights, taking many captives with him; he receives gifts from rebellious people. The LORD God will live there.

He has his home in Jerusalem; he lives on Mount Zion.

Praise the LORD in Zion, in Jerusalem, his home. Praise the LORD!

Now I have built a majestic temple for you, a place for you to live in forever."

"But can you, O God, really live on earth? Not even all of heaven is large enough to hold you, so how can this Temple that I have built be large enough?

Here I am with the children the LORD has given me. The LORD Almighty, whose throne is on Mount Zion, has sent us as living messages to the people of Israel.

Let everyone who lives in Zion shout and sing! Israel's holy God is great, and he lives among his people."

"I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.

(SEE 3:20)

In union with him you too are being built together with all the others into a place where God lives through his Spirit.

Instead, you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, with its thousands of angels.

The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God shines on it, and the Lamb is its lamp.

more than any other place in Israel he loves the city of Jerusalem.
