11 I had rather be a door keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.

12. For the Lord God is a light and defence; the Lord will give grace and worship; and no good thing fhall he withhold from them that live a godly life.

13 O Lord God of hofts, bleffed is the man that putteth his truft in thee.
