4 How happy are those who live in your Temple,always singing praise to you.
5 How happy are those whose strength comes from you,who are eager to make the pilgrimage to Mount Zion.
6 As they pass through the dry valley of Baca,it becomes a place of springs;the autumn rain fills it with pools.
7 They grow stronger as they go;they will see the God of gods on Zion.
8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty.Listen, O God of Jacob!
9 Bless our king, O God,the king you have chosen.
10 One day spent in your Templeis better than a thousand anywhere else;I would rather stand at the gate of the house of my Godthan live in the homes of the wicked.
