Better is one day in your judgments

(John 1:14-18)
1
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
5
Selah Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6
As they pass through the Valley of Baca,(a) they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.(b)
7
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
8
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
9
Selah Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12
O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
