O GOD, || behold our shield, and look upon the face of Your a- | noint-

For a day in Your courts is better | than | a | thou- | sand. (Psalm 84:9–10a)
|| How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of | hosts! | - *
My soul longs, yes, even faints for the | courts | of | the | Lord;
|| Blessed are those who dwell in Your | house; | - *
They will still | be | prais- | ing | You
|| I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my | God | - *
Than dwell in the tents | of | wick- | ed- | ness.
|| The Lord will give grace and | glo- | ry; *
No good thing will He withhold from those who | walk | up- | right- | ly. (Psalm 84: 1–2b, 4, 10b, 11b)
