6Passing through the Valley of Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover it with blessings.
7They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! Selah
9God, watch over our shield; show concern for your anointed.
10For one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.
11For Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.
