8 O Lord, I love the house in which you dwell and the place where your glory abides.(A)
6 Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you,if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.(A)
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating,for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy and its people as a delight.(A)
