Lyrics:

Chorus: Better is one day in thy courts
Than a thousand anywhere else (repeat)

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my G-d
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness (repeat)

For the Lord is a sun and a shield unto me
The Lord will give grace and glory
No good thing will He withhold
From them that walk uprightly

No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly
Blessed is the man O Lord, the man who trusts in you
Blessed is the man O Lord, the man who trusts in you
The man who trusts in you
