Psalm 84:5-12
New American Standard Bible
5 Blessed is the person whose (A)strength is in You,
In [a]whose heart are the (B)roads to Zion!
6 Passing through the Valley of [b]Baca they make it a [c]spring;
The (C)early rain also covers it with blessings.
7 They (D)go from strength to strength,
[d]Every one of them (E)appears before God in Zion.
8 (F)Lord God of armies, hear my prayer;
Listen, (G)God of Jacob! Selah
9 See our (H)shield, God,
And look at the face of (I)Your anointed.
10 For (J)a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than live in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (K)a sun and (L)shield;
The Lord gives grace and (M)glory;
(N)He withholds no good thing [e]from those who walk with integrity.
12 Lord of armies,
(O)Blessed is the person who trusts in You!

New International Version
5 Blessed are those whose strength(A) is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(B)
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;(C)
the autumn(D) rains also cover it with pools.[a]
7 They go from strength to strength,(E)
till each appears(F) before God in Zion.(G)
8 Hear my prayer,(H) Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield,[b](I) O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.(J)
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(K) in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(L) and shield;(M)
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(N)
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 Lord Almighty,
blessed(O) is the one who trusts in you.
