This is none other but the house of God.

4 When thou art there, keep thy thoughts from wandering. Let not thy soul be fixed on any other thing then on God, and his holy ordinances which thou performest, least 1thou be reckoned in the number of them, Who draw near to God with their mouth, and with their lips do honour him, but have removed their heart far from him: and so thy service be rejected of God.
