Psalms 84:4-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 84
4Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah 5Blessed is the person whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the roads to Zion! 6Passing through the Valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings. 7They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion. 8Lord God of armies, hear my prayer; Listen, God of Jacob! Selah 9See our shield, God, And look at the face of Your anointed. 10For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than live in the tents of wickedness. 11For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.King James Version
Chapter 84
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Chapter 84
4How happy are those who reside in your house, who praise you continually. Selah 5Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.
9Consider our shield, God; look on the face of your anointed one.
10Better a day in your courts than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than live in the tents of wicked people.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity.
New Living Translation
5What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
6When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.
7They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.
10A 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.
11For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.
