9 O God, our shield, look on the face Of thine anointed dear.
10 Because one day within thy house Is better to abide, Than in another place to stay A thousand days beside. Much rather would I keep a door In the house of my God, Than in the tents of wickedness To take up mine abode.
11 For the Lord God, our Sun and Shield, Will grace and glory give, And no good thing from them with-hold Who uprightly do live.
12 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts, That man is surely blest, Who by a steadfast confidence On thee alone doth rest.
12 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts, That man is surely blest, Who by a stedfast confidence On thee alone doth rest.
