9 You are the shieldthat protects your people,and I am your chosen one.Won't you smile on me?
10 One day in your templeis better than a thousandanywhere else.I would rather servein your house,than live in the homesof the wicked.
11 Our Lord and our God,you are like the sunand also like a shield.You treat us with kindnessand with honour,never denying any good thingto those who live right.
12 Lord God All-Powerful,you bless everyonewho trusts you.
