Fits tune: Ach Gott Und Herr [English: O God and Lord]

Psalm 25 v.10
All the paths of the LORD they be
Truth, mercy, to such who, see
Who keep His covenant, it know
And His testimonies show
Psalm 26 v.8
LORD, I have loved the place wherein
You inhabit, there no sin
Your house, place where your honour dwells
My tongue your praises it tells
Psalm 27 v.4
One thing have I desired of you
Lord, only good, only true
That will I seek, I it pursue
To dwell in your house, you view
Psalm 27 v.4
In your house I would ever stay
Commune with you night and day
And there behold your beauty bright
Your presence, endless delight
Psalm 27 v.4
I would too there of you enquire
From your temple not be far
It be the place where you reside
Where I trust in you, confide
Psalm 27 v.14
Wait on the Lord, good courage take
He will help you, and you make
Strong in heart, so each day to face
Progress on at even pace
Psalm 23 v.6
All my life goodness and mercy
Shall be with me, follow me
E'en all my days, and I shall dwell
E'er in His house, His praise tell

Hope this is not too disjointed. Often a few psalms in a row can have the same sort of theme. It's interesting to select verses, not too much at random though.
