Psalm 84:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ Lord God All-Powerful, hear my prayer;
    God of Jacob, listen to me. Selah
⁹ God, look at our shield;
    be kind to your appointed king.

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.
