7Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.
8They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.
9O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)
10O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.
11For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.
12The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.
13O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.
