Psalm 84:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Lord God All-Powerful,
the God of Jacob,
    please answer my prayer!
⁹ You are the shield
    that protects your people,
and I am your chosen one.
    Won't you smile on me?

¹⁰ One day in your temple
is better than a thousand
    anywhere else.
I would rather serve
    in your house,
than live in the homes
    of the wicked.
