To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Have you noticed that the Sons of Korah did not long to be out of here, no their longing was for the presence of the living God. Their focus was totally on the Presence and totally oblivious to the absence. So must I be, Lord, but so easy to become burdened with the woes of this world that I lose sight of the Yet to Come. Give me that vision that they had.
