Psalm 84:8-12

A doorkeeper in God's house

    O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
        give ear, O God of Jacob! 
Selah 
     Behold our shield, O God;
        look on the face of your anointed.
 
     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. 
     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. 
     O Lord of hosts,
        happy is everyone who trusts in you.
