Lexicon :: Strong's H7931 - šāḵan

Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;

And let him trample my life to the ground

And lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

A Psalm of David.

O LORD, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent?

Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;

My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,

Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the LORD and do good;

Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.

Depart from evil and do good;

And you will dwell [securely in the land] forever.

The righteous will inherit the land

And live in it forever.

And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away and be at rest.

Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near

To dwell in Your courts.

We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,

Your holy temple.

God makes a home for the lonely;

He leads the prisoners into prosperity,

Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.

Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks,

At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place?

Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.

You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives;

You have received gifts among men,

Even from the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there.

The descendants of His servants will inherit it,

And those who love His name will dwell in it.

Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,

Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance;

Remember Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.

He also drove out the nations before the sons of Israel

And allotted their land as an inheritance, measured out and partitioned;

And He had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents [the tents of those who had been dispossessed].

So that He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,

The tent in which He had dwelled among men,

Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder],

That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.

If the LORD had not been my help,

I would soon have dwelt in [the land of] silence.

“The children of Your servants will continue,

And their descendants will be established before You.”

Beside them the birds of the heavens have their nests;

They lift up their voices and sing among the branches.

Woe to me, for I sojourn in Meshech,

and I live among the tents of Kedar [among hostile people]!

Blessed be the LORD from Zion,

Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)

If I take the wings of the dawn,

If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
