A single day in your courtyards is better than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather guard the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of sinful people.

在你的院宇住一日，胜似在别处住千日；宁可在我神殿中看门，不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。

在你的院宇一日，胜似千日；宁可在我上帝的殿中看门，不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。

在你院子里住一日，胜过在别处住千日；宁愿站在我神殿中的门槛上，也不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。

是的，在你的院宇中一日，好过在别处千日；我宁愿在我神的殿中看门，也不愿住在恶人的帐篷里；

在你的院宇住一日，勝似在別處住千日；寧可在我神殿中看門，不願住在惡人的帳棚裏。

在你院子裡住一日，勝過在別處住千日；寧願站在我神殿中的門檻上，也不願住在惡人的帳棚裡。

在你的院子一日，勝過在別處一千日，寧可在我上帝之殿的門檻上站着，也不願在邪惡之公館住一代。

是的，在你的院宇中一日，好過在別處千日；我寧願在我神的殿中看門，也不願住在惡人的帳篷裡；

居爾院宇一日、愈於平居千日、寧在我上帝室為閽、勝於居惡人之幕兮、

余居爾場帷、雖僅一日、較諸數年猶愈兮、寧守上帝之門、毋入惡人之室兮。

在主院宇得居一日、勝居他處千日、寧立於我天主殿之門閾、不願居惡人之帷幕、

庇主之蔭。祈主垂青。

I’m asking the Lord for only one thing. Here is what I want. I want to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. I want to look at the beauty of the Lord. I want to worship him in his temple.

Lord, I love the house where you live. I love the place where your glory is.Don’t destroy me together with sinners. Don’t take away my life along with murderers.Their hands are always planning to do evil. Their right hands are full of money that has bought their help.

I have seen you in the sacred tent. There I have seen your power and your glory.

But we are citizens of heaven. And we can hardly wait for a Savior from there. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord, by your power save me from people like that. They belong to this world. They get their reward in this life. May what you have stored up for evil people fill their bellies. May their children’s stomachs be filled with it. And may there even be leftovers for their little ones.You will show that I am right; I will enjoy your blessing. When I wake up, I will be satisfied because I will see you.

Don’t let my heart be drawn to what is evil. Don’t let me join with people who do evil. Don’t let me eat their fancy food.If a godly person hit me, it would be an act of kindness. If they would correct me, it would be like pouring olive oil on my head. I wouldn’t say no to it. I will always pray against the things that sinful people do.

Lord who rules over all, how lovely is the place where you live!I can’t wait to be in the courtyards of the Lord’ s temple. I really want to be there. My whole being cries out for the living God.

Send me your light and your faithful care. Let them lead me. Let them bring me back to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.Then I will go to the altar of God. I will go to God. He is my joy and my delight. God, you are my God. I will praise you by playing the lyre.

So don’t live under the control of sin. If you do, you will think about what sin wants. Live under the control of the Holy Spirit. If you do, you will think about what the Spirit wants.The thoughts of a person ruled by sin bring death. But the mind ruled by the Spirit brings life and peace.

Would you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes? Would you say,“ Here’s a good seat for you”? Would you say to the poor man,“ You stand there”? Or“ Sit on the floor by my feet”?

After three days they found him in the temple courtyard. He was sitting with the teachers. He was listening to them and asking them questions.
