Psalm 27: 1, 4  
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? The Lord is the 
strength of my life; of whom shall I
be afraid?
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
that I may dwell in the house of the
Lord all the days of my life, and to
behold the beauty of the Lord, and to
inquire in His temple.
