8 O Lord God of the hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield and look upon the face of thine anointed,
10 for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand outside of them. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield unto us; the Lord will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of the hosts, happy is the man that trusts in thee.
