O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Hear my prayer,(A) Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield,[a](B) O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.(C)

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