Psalms 27:4

"One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:

That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of Jehovah,

And to inquire in his temple."

"That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life" (Psalms 27:4). The psalmist's great desire was to "Dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life." This of course is like the last line of the Shepherd Psalm, a strong indication of Davidic authorship. Significantly, Dahood's comment sheds additional light upon the meaning, not only here, but in the Shepherd Psalm also. "This verse is a prayer for eternal life in heaven with Yahweh."[8]

"And to inquire in his temple." Kidner warned that, "These words do not imply that Solomon's Temple had been built."[9] Also, Rawlinson wrote that, "It has already appeared from Psalms 5:7 that the word `Temple' in David's time was applied to the tabernacle."[10] Furthermore, as the ASV margin shows, another allowable reading here is "Consider his temple," which indeed might be the better rendition, because, as the one who conceived the very idea of the Temple that Solomon later built, it may very well have been that David often `considered it.'
