Psalms 23:6

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever." — Psalms 23:6 (ASV)

I will dwell. —As the text stands it must be translated I will return (and abide) in the house of Jehovah.

The house of the Lord can hardly be anything but the Temple; though some commentators treat this even as figurative of membership in the Divine family.
