  • Psalm 65:4 ESV

        the holiness of your temple!

    Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
        and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
    Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
        and delight yourselves in rich food.
    Incline your ear, and come to me;
        hear, that your soul may live;
    and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
        my steadfast, sure love for David.

    let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
        and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
