8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. Pause.
9Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.
10For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
11For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
