O True God, look at our shield, our protector,
    see the face of Your anointed king, and defend our defender.

10 Just one day in the courts of Your temple is greater
    than a thousand anywhere else.
I would rather serve as a porter at my God’s doorstep
    than live in luxury in the house of the wicked.
11 For the Eternal God is a sun and a shield.
    The Eternal grants favor and glory;
He doesn’t deny any good thing
    to those who live with integrity.

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.
