Our chief business

Psalms 27:4

1. What was the psalmist's desire?

The psalmist's soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; his heart and his flesh cry out for the living God, that he may dwell in the house of the LORD. All the days of his life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

Psalms 63:1-8; 84:1-12

2. What was the psalmist's practice?

The psalmist will praise the Lord as long as he lives, and in the Lord's name he will lift up his hands. The psalmist's soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips his mouth will praise the Lord.

On his bed, the psalmist remember the Lord; he thinks of God through the watches of the night. Because the Lord is his help, the psalmist will sing in the shadow of His wings. The psalmist's soul clings to the Lord; God's right hand upholds the psalmist.
