     From: 新標點和合本 (Chinese Union Version with New Punctuation), 詩篇 (Psalm) 84:10

     Zài nǐ de yuànyǔ zhù yī rì, shèngsì zài biéchù zhù qiān rì; nìngkě zài wǒ Shén diàn zhōng kānmén, bùyuàn zhù zài èrén de zhàngpéng lǐ. [Pinyin]

     For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.
