10 One day in your Temple is better
    than a thousand days anywhere else.
Serving as a guard at the gate of my God’s house is better
    than living in the homes of the wicked.
11 The Lord God is our protector and glorious king.[a]
    He blesses us with kindness and honor.
The Lord freely gives every good thing
    to those who do what is right.
12 Lord All-Powerful,
    great blessings belong to those who trust in you!

    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(D)
    from those whose walk is blameless.
