10 One day in the courtyards of your Temple 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 of the wicked.
11 The Lord God is like our sun and shield.
    The Lord gives us kindness and glory.
He does not hold back anything good
    from those whose life is innocent.
12 Lord of heaven’s armies,
    happy are the people who trust you!

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

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed(E) is the one who trusts in you.
