Psalm 84:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], hear my prayer;
    God of Jacob [^Canother name for Israel], ·listen to me [give ear]. ·Selah [Interlude]
⁹ God, look at our shield [^Cthe king];
    be kind to your ·appointed king [anointed; Messiah; ^Cthe king, ultimately Jesus; Acts 4:25–28].

¹⁰ One day in your courtyards is better
    than a thousand days anywhere else.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the Temple of my God
    than live in the ·homes [^Ltents] of the wicked.
