Bible in Basic English
"Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory."
— Psalms 26:8, Bible in Basic English
“Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.”
I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
