For the LORD God is a sun and shield unto us; the LORD will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly.

for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand outside of them. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

How amiable are thy habitations, O LORD of the hosts!

Happy is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are thy ways,

who passing through the valley of Baca, shall make it a well; the rain also shall fill the pools.

My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing to the living God.

Happy are those that dwell in thy house; they shall continually praise thee. Selah.

Even the sparrow has found a house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young upon thine altars, O LORD of the hosts, my King and my God.

They go forth in a great multitude; and in order, they shall see God in Zion.

O LORD of the hosts, happy is the man that trusts in thee.

Behold, O God our shield and look upon the face of thine anointed,

O LORD God of the hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
