8. O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer,and give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
9. Behold, O God our shield,and look upon the face of Your anointed.
10. For a day in Your courts is betterthan a thousand elsewhere.I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Godthan to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

12. O Lord of Hosts,blessed is the man who trusts in You.
