- Deuteronomy 6:5
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 6:51 voice
And therefore it is written, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God. Now he who loves also believes, and in believing each man begins to love. Abraham believed, and so began to love, and he believed not in part, but entirely. For otherwise he would not have perfect charity, for it is written, Charity believeth all things. If it believe not all things, charity does not seem to be perfect. Perfect charity then has all faith.
Ambrose of Milan· Letter 76, Section 5, 397Patristic
- 1 Chronicles 29:3
Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:

- Psalms 16:3
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Commentary on Psalms 16:31 voice
To the saints who are in his land, he made all his wishes wonderful in them. In place of which it is written in the Hebrew: "To the saints who are in the land, and to my exalted ones, is all my will in them." These goods of which you have no need, O Father, my saints do need—the saints in whom I have made all my wishes to be wonderful.
Jerome· Homily 61, on Psalm 15, 420Patristic
- Psalms 19:8–10
The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
Commentary on Psalms 19:8–101 voice
They are truly right, because he is known to have acted in the same say as he taught. In contrast, those whose words are not consistent with their works show that their version of justice is not right.
Cassiodorus· EXPLANATION OF THE PSALMS 19:9, 585Patristic
- Psalms 26:8
O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.
Commentary on Psalms 26:81 voice
What he calls "the glory of your house" is not the beauty of walls or the most expensive table settings, but the most blessed quality of those actions in which the entire church rejoices: namely, the joyful singing of psalms, the holiness of prayers, the …

- Psalms 27:4
One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.
Commentary on Psalms 27:41 voice
"One thing I have asked." Above, the Psalmist presented the confidence conceived from prayer; here, however, he presents the desire that arises from this confidence. And concerning this he does two things. First, he proposes the desire. Second, he assigns the cause of the desire, …

- Psalms 42:1
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
Commentary on Psalms 42:11 voice
This is the fifth decade of the first group of fifty, and thus it is ordered toward imploring help against present evils. And this is a figure of the temporal evils that befell David, who suffered persecution from Absalom—and against this was the first decade. …

- Psalms 69:9
because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
Commentary on Psalms 69:91 voice
"Not every one who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven," says the Scripture. Faith, therefore, august sovereign, must not be a mere matter of performance, for it is written, "The zeal of your house has devoured me." Let us then with faithful spirit and devout mind call on Jesus our Lord, let us believe that he is God, to the end that whatever we ask of the Father, we may obtain in his name. For the Father's will is that he be entreated through the Son, the Son's that the Father be entreated.
Ambrose of Milan· Exposition of the Christian Faith 1.2.12, 397Patristic
- Psalms 73:25
Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
Commentary on Psalms 73:251 voice
It is good for us to cleave to the Lord, and to put our hope in the Lord God, so that when we have exchanged our present poverty for the kingdom of heaven, we may be able to exclaim, "Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you." Surely if we can find such blessedness in heaven we may well grieve to have sought after poor and passing pleasures here on earth.
Jerome· LETTER 43.3, 420Patristic
- Psalms 84:2
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Commentary on Psalms 84:21 voice
My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God. Listen, heretic, to what he says. How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts: he is speaking of the kingdom of heaven. "There are many dwelling-places with my Father," the Lord says in the Gospel. My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord: these are the courts in which the saints will dwell for eternity, which the prophet desires. My heart and my flesh. You see, then, that both the soul and the flesh alike desire the kingdom of heaven.
Jerome· Homily 63, on Psalm 83 (Alternate Series), 420Patristic
- Psalms 91:14
“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
Commentary on Psalms 91:142 voices
Truly the devil, like a devil, interprets concerning the Savior what is not concerning the Savior. For if the whole psalm is about the Savior, as you interpret it, O devil, then it is about him too what is said: I will protect him, because he has known my name. That is, I the Father will protect my Son. Let me interpret it, devil, as you understand it. Let us see whether the sense holds. I will protect him, because he has known my name: that is, I the Father my Son.

- Psalms 106:12
Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.
Commentary on Psalms 106:121 voice
Then believed they his words,.... And not till then; for this is observed, not to their commendation, but to show the slowness of their hearts to believe; they believed on sight, but not before, as Thomas did; whereas, "blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed", Joh 20:29. When they saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore, then they believed the Lord, and his servant Moses; what he said by his servant Moses, that he would save them from the Egyptians, whom they should see no more, that is, alive, Exo 14:

- Psalms 106:13
Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
Commentary on Psalms 106:131 voice
Three days after our father Theodore died, when all the brothers were in deep mourning, our father Horsiesi became ill from grief over the death of our father Theodore of happy memory. Then some of the elderly brothers, including Apa [Pgentaesi] and Apa Pachomius, strongly …

- Psalms 119:10
With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.
Commentary on Psalms 119:101 voice
With my whole heart have I sought thee,.... Not himself, his own honour and applause, as formal worshippers and self-righteous persons do; but the Lord and his glory, his face, his presence, and communion with him, his grace, and fresh supplies of it, to help in time of need; his doctrine, as the Targum; and to know more of it, and of him, and of his mind and will; and this he did in the most sincere manner, with all his heart and soul.

- Psalms 119:20
My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times.
