Consider our shield,[a] God;(A)
look on the face of Your anointed one.(B)

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.(C)
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield.(D)
The Lord gives grace and glory;
He does not withhold the good
from those who live with integrity.(E)

Look on our shield,[a](A) O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.(B)

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