Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley (A)of [a]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with [b]pools.
They go (B)from strength to strength;
[c]Each one (C)appears before God in Zion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
(D)O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [d]anointed.

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

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