Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    (A)in whose heart are the highways to Zion.[a]
As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    (B)the early rain also covers it with (C)pools.
They go (D)from strength to strength;
    each one (E)appears before God in Zion.

O (F)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
(G)Behold our (H)shield, O God;
    look on the face of your anointed!

10 For a day (I)in your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be (J)a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (K)a sun and (L)shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor.
(M)No good thing does he withhold
    from those who (N)walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
    (O)blessed is the one who trusts in you!
