Psalms 23:6

Yes [it is true, see 2 Cor. 1:20–21], your goodness and mercy (caring love, faithfulness – Hebr. chesed)
will pursue (energetically follow; continue to chase unceasingly) me every day (all days) of my life.
I want to return to (restored, I want to dwell in) the house of the Lord (Yahweh)
all my days (literally: "for the length of days").
[The verse begins with the hebrew word ach, which means yes, indeed, only, or just. David, who throughout his life experienced the Lord's goodness and mercy, is confident that the Lord will continue to follow him. This is further reinforced by the use of the word normally used to chase, pursue, and rush after someone. It is not his enemies who have taken up the chase (Ps. 7:6; 31:16; 143:3), but only the goodness and mercy of the good shepherd who does not let him out of his sight (John 10:11). The word for returning, shov (also used in verse 3 and translated as revive), has a rich meaning and here refers to someone who comes to the temple again and again to worship in the house of the Lord. The preposition bet makes it literally "and return to the house of the Lord." In David's time, "the house of the Lord" referred to the tabernacle (2 Sam. 6:12, 17), while the next generation associated the term with Solomon's temple (2 Chron. 5:1). Even if one did not physically live in the temple (as the Levites did during their service), it could still mean that this was where one felt at home. Some add a vowel and see the word jashav instead, which is probably what the translators of the Septuagint did, since they write "to settle down/take up residence." The meaning then becomes the same as in Ps. 27:4, i.e., to have one's heart's home and dwelling place with the Lord in the temple.]
