Psalm 84:11-12
New Catholic Bible
11 It is better to spend one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper[a] in God’s house
than dwell inside the tents of the wicked.
12 The Lord God serves as our sun[b] and our shield;
the Lord showers us with grace and glory.
He does not withhold any good thing
from those who walk in integrity.
