Psalm 84:9–10

9 Look on our shield, O God;

look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts

than a thousand elsewhere;

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

than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

9 Behold our shield, O God;

look on the face of your anointed!

10 For a day in your 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.

9 Behold, O God our shield,

And look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

9 O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!

Show favor to the one you have anointed.

10 A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

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

than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

9 God, look at our shield;

be kind to your appointed king.

10 One day in the courtyards of your Temple is better

than a thousand days anywhere else.

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

than live in the homes of the wicked.

9 Behold, O God our shield,

And look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

9 Look at our shield, O God. 

Look with favor on the face of your anointed one. 

10 One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand ⸤anywhere else⸥. 

I would rather stand in the entrance to my God’s house 

than live inside wicked people’s homes. 

9 Consider our shield, God;

look on the face of Your anointed one.

10 Better a day in Your courts

than a thousand anywhere else.

I would rather be at the door of the house of my God

than to live in the tents of wicked people.

9 Behold our shield, O God;

look on the face of your anointed.

10 For a day in your courts is better

than a thousand elsewhere.

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

than live in the tents of wickedness.

9 Look at our shield, O God,

and have regard for the face of your anointed one.

10 Because better is a day in your courtyards

than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be at the threshold of the house of my God

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

9 God, look with favor on your anointed king.

You appointed him to be like a shield that keeps us safe.

10 A single day in your courtyards is better

than a thousand anywhere else.

I would rather guard the door of the house of my God

than live in the tents of sinful people.

9 Behold our shield, O God,

And look upon the face of Your anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.

I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God

Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
