5 Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.)
6 Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
7 Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.
8 They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.
9 O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)
10 O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.
11 For 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.
