Ashrei

“Happy are those who dwell in Your house.” Psalm 145, said three times every day — once you can read its opening, you'll recognize it at every service.

Ashrei yoshvei veitecha, od y'hal'lucha selah.

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they will praise You forever.

Happy is the people for whom this is so; happy is the people whose God is the Lord.

Aromimcha Elohai hamelech, va'avarchah shimcha l'olam va'ed.

I will exalt You, my God the King, and bless Your name forever and ever.

The first verse of Psalm 145 itself — David's praise, in the first person.
