- A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. - O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. - Teach me your ways, O Lord,
that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart,
so that I may honor you. - Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God. - For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours. - Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom. - And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful! - Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. - He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection. - I cried out, “I am slipping!”
but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. - When doubts filled my mind,
your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. - Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker. - You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of his godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked.
