5. Blessed are those whose strength is in you,whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6. As they pass through the Valley of Baka,they make it a place of springs;the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7. They go from strength to strength,till each appears before God in Zion.
8. Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;listen to me, God of Jacob.
9. Look on our shield, O God;look with favour on your anointed one.
10. Better is one day in your courtsthan a thousand elsewhere;I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Godthan dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11. For the Lord God is a sun and shield;the Lord bestows favour and honour;no good thing does he withholdfrom those whose way of life is blameless.
12. Lord Almighty,blessed is the one who trusts in you.
