10 One day in your temple
is better than a thousand
    anywhere else.
I would rather serve
    in your house,
than live in the homes
    of the wicked.

11 Our Lord and our God,
you are like the sun
    and also like a shield.
You treat us with kindness
    and with honor,
never denying any good thing
    to those who live right.

12 Lord God All-Powerful,
you bless everyone
    who trusts you.

10 Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(A) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(B) and shield;(C)
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(D)
    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed(E) is the one who trusts in you.
