9 Behold our shield, O God;

look upon the face of thine anointed!

10 For a day in thy courts is better

than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

he bestows favor and honor.

No good thing does the Lord withhold

from those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,

blessed is the man who trusts in thee!
