7 They go ^afrom strength to strength;
Each one ^bappears before God in Zion. ‡

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather¹ be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. ‡

11 For the Lord God is ^aa sun and ^bshield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
^cNo good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly. ‡
