Psalm 84:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Lord God of heavenly forces,
    hear my prayer;
    listen closely, Jacob’s God! Selah
⁹ Look at our shield, God;
    pay close attention to the face of your anointed one!

¹⁰ Better is a single day in your courtyards
    than a thousand days anywhere else!
I would prefer to stand outside the entrance of my God’s house
    than live comfortably in the tents of the wicked!
