10 I would rather be near your temple for one day
    than have a thousand days anywhere else.
I would rather stand near the door of God's temple
    than live among wicked people.
11 The Lord God is like a sun
    and a shield for his people.
He is kind to his people
    and he gives glory to them.
To those who do what is right,
    he gives every good thing that they need.
12 Lord Almighty,
    you have truly blessed everyone who trusts in you!

    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed(E) is the one who trusts in you.
