Psalm 84:10-12
The Message
10-12 One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship,
beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches.
I’d rather scrub floors in the house of my God
than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin.
All sunshine and sovereign is God,
generous in gifts and glory.
He doesn’t scrimp with his traveling companions.
It’s smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
Psalm 84:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 For (A)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 (B)a sun and (C)shield;
The Lord gives grace and (D)glory;
(E)He withholds no good thing [a]from those who walk with integrity.
12 Lord of armies,
(F)Blessed is the person who trusts in You!
