(A)O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [a]anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [b]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (B)a sun and (C)shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
(D)No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,
(E)Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
