Doorkeepers from All Nations in the House of Holy Prayer

(6) As for the foreigners
Who attach themselves to the LORD,
To minister to Him,
And to love the name of the LORD,
To be His servants—
All who keep the sabbath and do not profane it,
And who hold fast to My covenant— (7) I will bring them to My sacred mount
And let them rejoice in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
Shall be welcome on My altar;
For My House shall be called
A house of prayer for all peoples.”

Better one day in Your courts than a thousand [anywhere else];
I would rather stand at the threshold of God’s house
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Of David.

The LORD is my light and my help;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life,
whom should I dread?

(16) Kings are not delivered by a large force;
warriors are not saved by great strength; (17) horses are a false hope for deliverance;
for all their great power they provide no escape. (18) Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
who wait for His faithful care

ade with the Patriarchs, then you shall be My chosen treasure from among all the nations: for all the earth is Mine, but you alone have I chosen to be a light to the nations. ‘And you, the leaders of Israel, shall be to Me a priestly kingdom and a holy community. These are the words which you shall speak to the leaders of Israel only.'"

Let me again rejoice in Your help;
let a vigorous spirit sustain me.
