King David prayed in Psalm 84 and said: For a single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper; in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
صلى الملك داود في مزمور 84 وقال: لأَنَّ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا فِي دِيَارِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفٍ. اخْتَرْتُ الْوُقُوفَ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ فِي بَيْتِ إِلهِي عَلَى السَّكَنِ فِي خِيَامِ الأَشْرَارِ.
