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 a sun and shield;
    the Lord gives us kindness and honor.

    from those whose lives are innocent.
12 Lord All-Powerful,
    happy are the people who trust you!

    than a thousand elsewhere;

    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.
