and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

    "For he is the living God

        and he endures forever;

    his kingdom will not be destroyed,

        his dominion will never end.

    He rescues and he saves;

        he preforms signs and wonders in the heavens

        and on the earth.

        from the power of the lions."
