5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
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 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 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
WORDS TO LIVE BY
I dwell in the very house of God, and I am blessed in every way. My praises continually soar into His presence. Through Him, I have strength to do the task He has set before me. My heart is set on a pilgrimage to do His will.
As I press through the valley of weeping, I make it a place of joy. In my presence, it becomes a place of fresh water springs, and I shower blessings upon it like an spring rain. I press on from endeavor to venture and venture from strength to strength. I am a child of the most high God, and I appear regularly at His throne. My Father is my sun and my shield. He enlightens and enlivens me as I do His will, and He protects me from danger so that I remain secure. He bestows on me His favor and honor, and I am held in high esteem by my peers.
No good thing will He keep from me as daily I walk in obedience to Him.
