Psalm 84:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ One day in the courtyards of your Temple is better
    than a thousand days anywhere else.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the Temple of my God
    than live in the homes of the wicked.
¹¹ The Lord God is like our sun and shield.
    The Lord gives us kindness and glory.
He does not hold back anything good
    from those whose life is innocent.
¹² Lord of heaven’s armies,
    happy are the people who trust you!
