Selah. ###### 5 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. ###### 6 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. ###### 7 7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. ###### 8 8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. ###### 9 9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. ###### 10 10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. ###### 11 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. ###### 12 12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
