"YAHWEH is my light and my salvation
--whom shall I fear?
YAHWEH is the rampart of my life;
I will not be afraid.
One thing I ask of YAHWEH, one thing I seek--
that I may dwell in HIS house all the days of my life,
to gaze at HIS jewel and to visit HIS Sanctuary.
I hope, I am sure,
that I will see the goodness of YAHWEH
in the land of the living.
Trust in YAHWEH, be strong and courageous
yes, put your hope in YAHWEH!"
- Psalm 27:1. 4. 13-14
(In the struggles of this life, the believer is not discouraged, but clings to the hope the LORD has in store for us at the end of the conflict. A trust without limits: Though my father and mother forsake me, yet will the LORD receive me. To such a GOD, the psalmist can say: One thing I seek... [to] dwell in the house of the LORD. All the struggles, trials and temptations will not let us forget the house of the LORD at the end of the road.)
