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

10 For a day in thy courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    he bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does the Lord withhold
    from those who walk uprightly.

I would rather be a doorkeeper(C) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(D) and shield;(E)
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(F)
    from those whose walk is blameless.
