10 Just one day in the courts of Your temple is greater
    than a thousand anywhere else.
I would rather serve as a porter at my God’s doorstep
    than live in luxury in the house of the wicked.

    how fortunate are those who trust You.

    from those whose walk is blameless.

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