Num. 24; Ps. 5; Ps. 26; Ps. 69
Hebrew
מַה־טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ יַעֲקֹב, מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל: וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ, אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶךָ: יְהוָה אָהַבְתִּי מְעוֹן בֵּיתֶךָ, וּמְקוֹם מִשְׁכַּן כְּבוֹדֶךָ: וַאֲנִי אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְאֶכְרָעָה, אֶבְרְכָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה עֹשִׂי: וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי לְךָ יְהוָה עֵת רָצוֹן, אֱלֹהִים בְּרָב־חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶךָ:
English
How goodly are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel. As for me, in Your great loving-kindness, I will come into Your House. I will bow down to Your holy Temple in awe of You. LORD, I love the habitation of Your House, the place where Your glory dwells. As for me, I will bow in worship; I will bend the knee before the LORD my Maker. As for me, may my prayer come to You, LORD, at a time of favor. God, in Your great loving-kindness, answer me with Your faithful salvation.

Va’ani eshtaḥaveh ve’echra’ah, evrechah lifnei Adonai osi. Va’ani tefillati lecha Adonai et ratzon, Elohim berov-ḥasdecha aneni be’emet yishecha.
