New Testament

Psalms 84:5-12 New Century Version (NCV)

5. Happy are those whose strength comes from you,who want to travel to Jerusalem.

6. As they pass through the Valley of Baca,they make it like a spring.The autumn rains fill it with pools of water.

7. The people get stronger as they go,and everyone meets with God in Jerusalem.

8. Lord God All-Powerful, hear my prayer;God of Jacob, listen to me.Selah

9. God, look at our shield;be kind to your appointed king.

10. One day in the courtyards of your Temple is betterthan a thousand days anywhere else.I would rather be a doorkeeper in the Temple of my Godthan live in the homes of the wicked.

11. The Lord God is like a sun and shield;the Lord gives us kindness and honor.He does not hold back anything goodfrom those whose lives are innocent.

12. Lord All-Powerful,happy are the people who trust you!
